Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at Stadio San Paolo as SSC Napoli face off against KRC Genk in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 3' GOAL! Arkadiusz Milik fires home to make it 1-0!
- 8' The 35-year-old Allan has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 13' Mbwana Samatta has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 18' Kostas Manolas, a Greece , has 17 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 23' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KRC Genk that had 316 games and scored 528 goals.
- 26' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Arkadiusz Milik makes it 2-0.
- 31' Sander Berge needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 36' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Maarten Vandevoordt.
- 37' Maarten Vandevoordt catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 37.
- 38' Magnificent from Arkadiusz Milik! That is 74 goals in 508 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 43' The travelling KRC Genk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 48' Casper De Norre has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 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 Maarten Vandevoordt suffering a number of foals already.
- 58' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 63' A change in the KRC Genk ranks — Mbwana Samatta exits the field as Theo Bongonda enters on 63.
- 68' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 72' Gianluca Gaetano gets the nod from SSC Napoli. He replaces Piotr Zielinski and will look to change the dynamic.
- 74' Dries Mertens does the damage! The net is bulging and SSC Napoli surge ahead!
- 74' The referee calls foul for Casper De Norre. He receives a Yellow card.
- 78' Another change for SSC Napoli made on 78 minute. Arkadiusz Milik leaves to be changed by Hirving Lozano.
- 79' A tactical swap from SSC Napoli — Llorente on, Jose Callejon off on 79 minutes.
- 80' Mario Rui has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 80.
- 82' Neto Borges has so much to prove this time. He replaces Casper De Norre on 82 minute.
- 87' SSC Napoli player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 88' Joseph Paintsil was booked on 88.
