Already in the opening minutes, Rumbeke grabbed the game by the throat. Zwevegem was not yet awake when thought away the offside trap and served Thomas Timmerman, who shot into the 0-1 without any problems.
Barely eight minutes later, the next blow already followed: a free kick from captain Notebaert ended up with a detached Henri Moyaert, who headed in at the second post. A dream start for the title candidate, who could almost uncork the champagne.
