- 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between SV Zulte-Waregem and KV Kortrijk.
- 5' Andriy Batsula, a Ukraine , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 30' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Francky Dury will be considering his options from the bench.
- 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 40' It looks like no one’s ball. SV Zulte-Waregem is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
- 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 55' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 60' With 0 assists to his name this season, Sandy Walsh is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SV Zulte-Waregem.
- 65' 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 Teddy Chevalier suffering a number of foals already.
- 70' Louis Bostyn has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 194 appearances.
- 75' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 80' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both SV Zulte-Waregem and KV Kortrijk are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 85' SV Zulte-Waregem are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 90' 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.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for SV Zulte-Waregem.
