  • 0' And we are off! SSC Napoli vs KRC Genk — let the football do the talking.
  • 3' Arkadiusz Milik adds to his 0 season tally! SSC Napoli lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 8' 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.
  • 13' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 18' The home supporters are growing impatient. SSC Napoli must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 23' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hannes Wolf might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 26' What a strike from Arkadiusz Milik! The score is 2-0.
  • 31' SSC Napoli currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 36' KRC Genk receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 36.
  • 37' The referee has no hesitation. Maarten Vandevoordt is booked for KRC Genk — Yellow card on 37.
  • 38' Arkadiusz Milik makes a hat-trick on 38.
  • 43' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Patrik Hrosovsky made 153 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 48' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His SSC Napoli side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 53' Casper De Norre has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 58' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 63' A change in the KRC Genk ranks — Mbwana Samatta exits the field as Theo Bongonda enters on 63.
  • 68' 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 Onuachu suffering a number of foals already.
  • 72' Gianluca Gaetano is ready to make an impact after coming on for Piotr Zielinski at the 72 minute mark.
  • 74' Dries Mertens does the damage! The net is bulging and SSC Napoli surge ahead!
  • 74' Casper De Norre has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 74.
  • 78' SSC Napoli manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hirving Lozano is hanging Arkadiusz Milik on the field on 78 minute.
  • 79' Fresh legs for SSC Napoli! Llorente comes on to replace Jose Callejon.
  • 80' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Mario Rui.
  • 82' Casper De Norre makes way for Neto Borges at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from KRC Genk.
  • 87' It’s a booking for SSC Napoli player. Kalidou Koulibaly gets a Yellow card.
  • 88' A moment of madness from Joseph Paintsil on 88 minutes earns him a Yellow card. KRC Genk will be frustrated.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for KRC Genk.
