Massimo Bruno kicks Kortrijk past RWDM

The match in the Edmond Machtens Stadium started with a fifteen minute delay due to traffic jams. The delay did not inspire either team to make great moves in the first half. After a poor first 45 minutes, 0-0 was the logical halftime score.

After the break, RWDM, the number two in the Challenger Pro League, took the lead in the 54th minute. Botella floored goalkeeper Vandenberghe with a hit. Twenty minutes before the end, Kortrijk equalized through Massimo Bruno, who had just come in. He tapped in a cross from D’Haene.

The same Bruno was crowned the match winner moments later. With a close bang he sealed the fate of a courageous RWDM, which itself missed the chances of the winning goal. In the very last seconds, after an ultimate final offensive by the home team, Billal Messaoudi finished it off completely on the counter: 1-3.
