3-1 Cercle before the half. Play starts with McKenzie turning it over with a bad pass. Then, definitely had a chance to make a play backtracking against Denkey, but fails to make the play, and a ball across the six yard line is pounded home by Somers. McKenzie may possible be bailed out by a marginal offside on Denkey ... but as I type, no. 3-1.
McKenzie starting again against Anderlecht and Thomas Delaney. Anderlecht trying to go top of the table, Genk ... trying not to lose a fourth straight. 1-0 Anderlecht at the half.
Arkodoare pulled one back so it's now 2-1. McKenzie just had two straight good interceptions as Genk get a little excited about a potential comeback.
Genk take the lead on a 2 v 4 counterattack, where are four defenders played the ball and no one nearly tracked the open man. Even attempted a red card DOGSO arm tackle from behind and still didn't stop the counter. 1-0 Genk.
Getting to the end of the first half, and it's been a quiet one for McKenzie. Perfect passing, but almost all conservative, and maybe could have closed out a bit better to prevent Antwerp's shots on goal. He's wearing the captain's armband today, so nice honor there.
Still leading 1-0. The headline of this match may wind up being a nasty injury to Richie de Laet - he came off immediately after an awkward landing, in what could be a career-ender in the worst case - potentially major knee injury at 35.
McKenzie narrowly avoids an 89th minute equalizing own goal, inadvertently flicking a corner kick just wide of the far post. Still up 1-0.
McKenzie got stronger as the match went on, and should wind up with good stats. The narrowly missed own goal would have changed everything. Genk still in contention for a European spot with the win, Antwerp eliminated.
