Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Sarpsborg 08 FF kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The 29-year-old Bryan Heynen has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 6' What a moment for Patrick Mortensen! That strike on 6 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 11' 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.
  • 16' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 18' Patrick Mortensen was booked on 18.
  • 23' It’s high time Philippe Clement made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 28' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sarpsborg 08 FF and KRC Genk are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 33' The travelling KRC Genk supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 43' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 46' The KRC Genk bench stirs into life. Dieumerci Ndongala is withdrawn and Joseph Paintsil gets his opportunity.
  • 49' Magnificent from Leandro Trossard! That is 92 goals in 323 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 54' Sensational shot from Kristoffer Zachariassen. Sarpsborg 08 FF is back in the lead.
  • 59' 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 Mbwana Samatta suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' Patrick Mortensen makes no mistake. The score reads 3-1 and Sarpsborg 08 FF are in front.
  • 66' KRC Genk ring the changes. Ruslan Malinovskyi has done his job and it is now time for Bryan Heynen to step up.
  • 67' Poor challenge from Joonas Tamm. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 72' KRC Genk fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 73' Another substitution for Sarpsborg 08 FF to replace Ole Jorgen Halvorsen by Tobias Heintz on 73 minute.
  • 78' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 82' Harmeet Singh is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rashad Muhammed at the 82 minute mark.
  • 87' Sarpsborg 08 FF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 87.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
