54' Jordan Bos adds to his 0 season tally! KVC Westerlo lead 3-1 — and this changes everything.
59' A change in the KVC Westerlo ranks — Allahyar Sayyadmanesh exits the field as Josimar Alcocer enters on 59.
64' 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.
