Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against KV Oostende and KVC Westerlo has kicked off!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering KVC Westerlo that had 145 games and scored 205 goals.
- 8' What a moment for Ambroise Gboho! That strike on 8 puts his side firmly in control.
- 13' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 18' Over 18 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 23' Bryan Van Den Bogaert needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 25' The KV Oostende bench stirs into life. Indy Boonen is withdrawn and Fashion Sakala gets his opportunity.
- 26' A tactical swap from KV Oostende — Fashion Sakala on, Indy Boonen off on 26 minutes.
- 31' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 32' Poor challenge from Wouter Corstjens. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 37' The home supporters are growing impatient. KV Oostende must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 42' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bob Peeters will be considering his options from the bench.
- 44' Michiel Jonckheere has so much to prove this time. He replaces Robbie D'Haese on 44 minute.
- 49' KVC Westerlo is showing some good football. However, KVC Westerlo are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 54' Both keepers have barely been tested. KV Oostende and KVC Westerlo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 59' 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.
- 62' What composure from Ambroise Gboho! The France international strokes it home. 0-2.
- 67' 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 Francois Marquet suffering a number of foals already.
- 70' Another change for KVC Westerlo made on 70 minute. Ambroise Gboho leaves to be changed by Sava Petrov.
- 71' Against the run of play, Sava Petrov has scored! This game has turned on its head.

- KV Oostende will have plenty to reflect on. KVC Westerlo were simply the better side today.
