Events
Match Events

- 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Royal Standard de Liège and KAA Gent are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 15' KAA Gent are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 20' KAA Gent started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' Royal Standard de Liège 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.
- 30' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Aiden O'Neill on 30 minutes.
- 33' That is a card for Royal Standard de Liege. Marko Bulat will be fuming at that decision.
- 38' 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 Souleyman Doumbia suffering a number of foals already.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Royal Standard de Liège that had 379 games and scored 376 goals.
- 46' Franck Surdez is having his name booked by the referee on 46.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Franck Surdez. He replaces Andrew Hjulsager on 46 minute.
- 51' Over 51 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 56' KAA Gent looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Christian Burgess scoring 1 goals.

- 60' The referee shows Royal Standard de Liege player a card on 60.
- 65' Royal Standard de Liège currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 70' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 75' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 80' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 82' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Franck Surdez makes it 0-1.
- 83' A change in the Royal Standard de Liege ranks — Aiden O'Neill exits the field as Sotiris Alexandropoulos enters on 83.
- 84' Time for substitution for KAA Gent. Pieter Gerkens is replaced by Sven Kums.
