Unfortunate Kortrijk suffers defeat in Charleroi

Charleroi went most emphatically in search of a goal in front of its own audience. Kortrijk goalkeeper Vandenberghe was ready for a deflected shot from Ilaimaharitra. Moments later, the Malagasy presented the incoming Mbenza with the 1-0. On the other side, Rogelj turned Silva’s header off the line. Immediately afterwards, Andreou did the same with a shot from Kadri. The home team got away twice just before the break.

The visitors also threatened after the break. A hard shot by Davies in the short corner was saved with some effort by Koffi. Mbenza was close to his second goal of the evening twice, Vandenberghe made a good save each time. Charleroi almost got the lid on the nose. Koffi made a nice save in the end on a shot from Ojo. With 7 points, Charleroi moves up to 13th place in the standings. KV Kortrijk is last. It counts 2 out of 24, just like Westerlo, which drew 0-0 against Standard at Sclessin on Friday.
