25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Domenico Olivieri will be considering his options from the bench.

40' It’s high time Domenico Olivieri made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
45' 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.

55' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
60' KRC Genk is showing some good football. However, KRC Genk are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
