Apolloon Kortrijk keeps the connection with the top after victory against Izegem

The home team in blue starts the game best. Under the impulse of winger Simon Vandewoestyne, Izegem quickly leads 2-1. On the other side, Izegem can count on an excellent goalkeeper. Jonas Nowé, who was still goalkeeper for Apolloon last season, makes some great saves in the opening phase.

The away team continues to struggle with Izegem’s attacking drive. After a patient build-up, Vermeiren can deepen the score to 5-1. The final chord in the first half is for substitute Pierre Gryp. Goalkeeper Sarwar launches Gryp. He does not hesitate and puts the 15-10 halftime score on the board. A gap of five points.

After the break, the visitors come out of the dressing room strong, and they should. A fresh Kortrijk quickly returns to 19-19. That equalizer gives the Spurs wings. Thiers completes a quick attack. It’s the 20-23 lead for Kortrijk. What a turnaround.

Tension runs high in the final phase, star Steenhoudt provides 24-26. Izegem still scores the connecting goal, but is left empty-handed. Kortrijk thus maintains its connection with the top of the standings.
