Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. KRC Genk get us underway at .
- 5' It looks surprising Royal Standard de Liège does not make any changes. Jakub Piotrowski has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' The travelling KRC Genk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 14' It’s a booking for KRC Genk player. Joakim Maehle gets a Yellow card.
- 19' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 20' The KRC Genk manager makes a substitution. Jhon Lucumi departs to be replaced by Sebastien Dewaest.
- 25' Gojko Cimirot, a Bosnia-Herzegovina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mbwana Samatta made 316 appearances and scored 74 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Royal Standard de Liège needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 40' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Royal Standard de Liège and KRC Genk are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 45' Poor challenge from Collins Fai. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 46' The KRC Genk bench stirs into life. Jakub Piotrowski is withdrawn and Joseph Paintsil gets his opportunity.
- 51' 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 Bryan Heynen suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Royal Standard de Liège side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 61' Joseph Aidoo is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for KRC Genk tonight.
- 66' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 68' Another substitution for Royal Standard de Liege to replace Samuel Bastien by Maxime Lestienne on 68 minute.
- 73' The 33-year-old Collins Fai has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 78' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michel Preud'homme might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 80' The referee has no hesitation. Pozuelo is booked for KRC Genk — Yellow card on 80.
- 81' Moussa Djenepo makes way for Orlando Sa at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from Royal Standard de Liege.
- 82' Ivan Fiolic is ready to make an impact after coming on for Dieumerci Ndongala at the 82 minute mark.
- 84' Mbwana Samatta does the damage! The net is bulging and KRC Genk surge ahead!
- 89' Luis Pedro Cavanda catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 89.
- 90' A stunning finish from Nekadio Luyindama — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
