  • 5' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 10' Vitinho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' Kevin Kis needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Cercle Brugge KSV is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 45' 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.
  • 50' Ismael Kandouss is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise tonight.
  • 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Royale Union Saint-Gilloise that had 231 games and scored 376 goals.
  • 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Laurent Guyot might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' It’s high time Laurent Guyot made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 70' It looks surprising Royale Union Saint-Gilloise does not make any changes. Lloyd Palun has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 75' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 80' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcel Mehlem, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 85' Royale Union Saint-Gilloise started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
  • 90' Faiz Selemani has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 3-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
