Antwerp narrowly wins at home against Kortrijk

A cartload of opportunities, but a 0-0 halftime score: Antwerp could not possibly be satisfied after the first half at the Bosuil, which completely dominated. That resulted in seven open goal chances, but each time there was a failure in the finish. The culprit was the Japanese defender Tsuyoshi Watanabe, who dived into the path of the leather several times to foil a goal.

Even after the break, it continued to pound for the home team, who had to wait for a long shot from Arbnor Muja twenty minutes before the end of regulation time to take the lead. The shot in the top right corner was untenable for KVK goalkeeper Tom Vandenberghe, who was unable to turn around afterwards. 1-0 also became the final score.

Also press Union

Antwerp did what it had to do and, with nine out of nine, put the first pursuers AA Gent and Club Brugge, who both came no further than a draw, at an even greater distance. The difference is now thirteen points. In addition, The Great Old also puts pressure on vice champion Union, which closes the match day on Sunday evening with a home game against Seraing, which has already been relegated. With one game less, the people of Brussels count as many points as Antwerp. That is still five less than leader Racing Genk, which climbed to their feet on Sunday afternoon with a 5-2 home win against RSC Anderlecht.
