Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Royal Standard de Liege host KV Mechelen — let the battle begin!
5' It’s high time Steven Defour made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Carl Hoefkens might look to freshen things up shortly.
11' Royal Standard de Liege manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Gilles Dewaele is hanging Marlon Fossey on the field on 11 minute.
14' It’s a booking for KV Mechelen player. Lion Lauberbach gets a card.
19' The travelling KV Mechelen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
22' Goal! Hayao Kawabe scores his 21 goal in 335 matches.
27' Royal Standard de Liege 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.
32' KV Mechelen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
37' 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 Gaetan Coucke suffering a number of foals already.
42' Steven Alzate needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 17 Yellow cards this season.
47' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
52' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
57' Bilal Bafdili has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 223 appearances.
62' A quiet spell here at Stade Sclessin. KV Mechelen seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
67' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
68' The whistle greets Steven Alzate as he departs to be replaced by Aiden O'Neill.
70' Isaac Price has so much to prove this time. He replaces Isaac Hayden on 70 minute.
73' The crowd applauds Bilal Bafdili as he leaves the pitch. Geoffry Hairemans steps in for KV Mechelen.
78' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
83' David Bates has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
84' Bill Antonio has so much to prove this time. He replaces Patrick Pflucke on 84 minute.
89' Belgium international Daam Foulon has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
