Euvrard wanted more sharpness and brought Vossen into the team. Traoré was able to print quite quickly, just wide. The same Traoré positioned himself centrally between three men after seven minutes. Marijnissen pushed him into the box: a clear penalty. Captain Vossen took responsibility and scored from the spot, his seventh this season: 0-1.
Zulte Waregem now wanted more. Robbe Decostere kicked into the arms of goalkeeper Teunckens. But Lierse also remained dangerous. Eric Ocansey, ex-KV Kortrijk, left in his own half and shot just wide in the box.
The death blow for the home team almost came via the swift Traoré. Only at Teunckens he had to swerve to the back line. Yet he was still able to pull ahead, Machado could not reach the far post. On the rebound, Vormer connected, but Teunckens was again between his posts.
Both Lierse and Zulte Waregem kept coming. Oulare kicked van der Gouw from far away. On the other side, Vossen finished slightly less well, on Teunckens. Then it was up to Lierse again. Oulare came alone ahead of van der Gouw, but he was quicker on the ball, Marijnissen was unable to head the 1-1 goal. In the same minute, Traoré was released on the right, and Vossen just couldn’t reach his cross.
So it remained 0-1. Zulte Waregem has already taken its seventh victory away from home, the ninth in total this season. And Essevee is also in the lead again together with Beerschot, which will play against Deinze tomorrow. They both have 29 points now.
