For a long time, spectacle seemed to be left in the first half. Club raised a kind of handball investment, Westerlo underwent it and let it go. Until the end of the first 45 minutes suddenly everything erupted: first there was the 2-0 through a strange ball from Ferri that ended up in Sabbe through the leg of Sabbe, and barely a minute later a class flash of Blauw-Zwart followed. A real Tiki-Taka attack was completed by Tresoldi: 1-2 at the break.
Even after the break immediately spectacle. Carlos Forbs, often accused of dribbling too blind, showed his other side. One hood in and a steel-hard shot in the intersection: 2-2. Proof that the Portuguese can do more than just dribbling and walking. Westerlo did not finish his chances and then you get the lid on the nose. Seys, just signed a new contract, shows why he deserves to stay until 2029. 3-2, crooked situation
But the party was short -lived. Spileers defended sloppy, Ferri easily nodded inside. The signs for the second time again. And less than five minutes later, the Kempenaars struck again. Sayyadmanesh set up a great action, Yow prepared the ball for Sakamoto, who pushed the 3-4 inside.
