Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Stade Maurice Dufrasne. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Royal Standard de Liege and RSC Anderlecht.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' RSC Anderlecht is showing some good football. However, RSC Anderlecht are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. RSC Anderlecht is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 18' Poor challenge from Sven Kums. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 22' Against the run of play, Razvan Marin has scored! This game has turned on its head.

- 38' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 43' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 48' Over 48 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 53' 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 Paul-Jose Mpoku suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 63' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.

- 68' Gojko Cimirot catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 68.
- 68' Adrien Trebel gets the nod from RSC Anderlecht. He replaces Peter Zulj and will look to change the dynamic.
