Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Stade Maurice Dufrasne!
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Sebastien Dewaest is clearly more than just a goal scorer for KRC Genk.
- 15' Theo Bongonda has been relatively quiet despite scoring 62 goals in his last 198 appearances.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bryan Heynen, as he is very good at scoring at Stade Maurice Dufrasne with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gaetan Coucke made 320 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 45' KRC Genk seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 55' KRC Genk started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
- 60' A change in the KRC Genk ranks — Ianis Hagi exits the field as Patrik Hrosovsky enters on 60.
- 61' Gojko Cimirot is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
- 62' A meaty challenge results in booking for Gojko Cimirot on 62.
- 63' A meaty challenge results in booking for Sebastien Dewaest on 63.
- 68' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jere Uronen suffering a number of foals already.
- 73' A change in the Royal Standard de Liege ranks — Selim Amallah exits the field as Mehdi Carcela enters on 73.
- 78' KRC Genk come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 81' Royal Standard de Liege manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Obbi Oulare is hanging Felipe Avenatti on the field on 81 minute.
- 82' Junya Ito makes way for Dieumerci Ndongala at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from KRC Genk.
- 83' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Obbi Oulare.
- 84' The DR Congo central midfielder Samuel Bastien breaks the deadlock on 84 minutes. 0-1!
- 87' Another substitution for KRC Genk to replace Bryan Heynen by Paul Onuachu on 87 minute.
- 90' The Royal Standard de Liege bench stirs into life. Maxime Lestienne is withdrawn and Mergim Vojvoda gets his opportunity.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Royal Standard de Liège to claim maximum points.
