Oostende :
KV Oostende has sit up an excellent season. It started very strongly to the season, it played so strong that analysts did itself a prediction that Ostend could well battle for the championship. Now, it seems almost impossible but it can of course happen vanalles in these Play-Offs. The purpose of them is therefore to obtain a European ticket. By losing the cup final the fourth least now be in these Play-Offs and should not be lost there against Zulte-Waregem. Rather, it should win to adjust the target with sharp.
Similarly turned against Charleroi. It played very driven, at given moments with wings, created a host of chances, but could not pull the trigger to shoot down Charleroi. Glasses score at the break was the result. The second half was equal upright, but Ostend was still back the dangerous team. By a handsome goal from Musona took the lead until Charleroi awarded a free kick. Clinton Mata thought, it’s my turn, and stepped neatly walked through the goal frame.

Meanwhile it zigzagged a path through the Cup of Belgium and became more and more one of the options in order to employ their goal this season: to win a European ticket. And the cup final was one in which anything could happen, after extra time, the match ended with 3-3 and both teams were allowed to take penalties. Zulte-Waregem was the coolest herein, and could take the cup with the big ears at home. Mission accomplished.
Allowing Zulte-Waregem no pressure should begin this Play-Offs. But it will not just be a contender. Still, the team won the cup final after also want the Play-Offs end with a good feeling. Before himself top four focused. First race for his home crowd was instant favorite for the title alone against RSC Anderlecht. It started that game not good, if not weak. There was no pressure ahead and it should be appreciated that it was only 0-1 at halftime. But the 2nd half was a completely different level. Anderlecht Zulte completely crowds out to their own goal and also scored the deserved equalizer. Afterwards there was a crazy last minutes with chances for both teams. Tielemans could continue well and put the 1-2 final score on the board. Frank Dury was proud of his team in order to get out of the locker room and did not deserve to lose his team. It must now prepare for a tough trip to Ostend.
