The scoreboard remained empty in the first half. Lommel took the initiative and tried to put Knokke under pressure, while the home team lurked on fast outbreaks via Vanraefelghem and striker Stan Braem. Despite a few big opportunities, including an almost successful pass by Cooman, goalkeeper Piekklak kept his nets clean.
After the break, the decision came: a mistake by a Lommel defender led to a penalty kick, who flooded Vanraefelghem flawlessly. Lommel still insisted, but Knokke held up and assured himself of a place in the next round of the cup.
