- 29' Hendrik Van Crombrugge is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Royal Standard de Liège tonight.
- 34' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 37' Joao Klauss catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 37.
- 42' RSC Anderlecht is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
