Lommel has not lost since December 1, but Ostend is also not doing badly on away matches. After eleven minutes, Vinck cleverly wins the ball, sends Hartwig away on the right and then confuses the Lommel defense. As a result, Mo Berte can easily push in: 0-1 for Ostend.
Lommel responds with a free kick. Bossin has no trouble with the weak header, although the home team does claim that the ball has crossed the line. Ostend is participating strongly: a good combination of Wylin and Henderson on the right flank. Berte is completely alone and should have done much more with this. He realizes that himself. KVO will have to defend the 0-1 lead in the second half.
And the coastal boys do that with verve. Lommel has the most ball possession, but there is no real threat. The score remains 0-1, a deserved victory for KVO, which can finally breathe again.
