You can’t start a match better than what Ostend did. After just two minutes, Bätzner shot the opening goal past a hopeless Martin. Furthermore, the first half gave birth to a mouse for a long time, until Vagner found Mvoué with a bit of luck. The Cameroonian hung the signs again right before half time.
In an open second half, which went up and down well at times, Seraing eventually proved to be the strongest. Bernier served Vagner, the Seraing striker cleverly pushed the ball past Phillips into the bottom left corner from the edge of the penalty area. Ostend was slowed down in its search for the equalizer by red cards for Urhoghide (2x yellow) and D’Haese. Seraing passes on the red lantern to Zulte Waregem with this victory. That will play tomorrow at the Gaverbeek against KV Mechelen.
