Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise kicks off things out of here…
5' Hans Vanaken has been relatively quiet despite scoring 95 goals in his last 351 appearances.
10' It is a cagey affair so far. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in their 3-4-3 trying to find a way past Club Brugge KV's compact 4-2-3-1.
12' The referee shows Royale Union Saint-Gilloise player a card on 12.
13' Adem Zorgane has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 13.
15' GOAL! Brandon Mechele scores on 15. Assisted by Christos Tzolis
20' Royale Union Saint-Gilloise 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.
24' Carlos Forbs is having his name booked by the referee on 24.
29' Assisted by Anan Khalaili with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mateo Biondic makes no mistake. 1-1!
32' Club Brugge KV player sees a card in front of him.
37' Both keepers have barely been tested. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and Club Brugge KV are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
42' named a 3-4-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
45' Anan Khalaili has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 45.
50' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and Club Brugge KV are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
54' It’s a booking for Club Brugge KV player. Joel Ordonez gets a card.
59' Kevin Mac Allister is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise tonight.
64' The supporters are chanting for Besfort Zeneli. He replaces Anouar Ait El Hadj on 64 minute.
69' Club Brugge KV ring the changes. Raphael Onyedika has done his job and it is now time for Hans Vanaken to step up.
74' Joel Ordonez has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
79' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Royale Union Saint-Gilloise side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
81' What a moment for Besfort Zeneli! That strike on 81 puts his side firmly in control.
84' Nicolo Tresoldi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Hugo Vetlesen at the 84 minute mark.
