In a balanced first half, the visitors were able to put their foot next to the home team. Essevee failed to make a difference against PhD student Liège. But the men of ex-Club player Gaëtan Englebert did not maintain that effort.
After the break, Essevee pushed through. Fifteen minutes before the whistle, Zinho Gano was able to break the spell, after preparatory work by Machado. Gano left the score 2-0 moments later.
Zulte Waregem has 19 points after 9 matchdays. One point more than Lommel, who previously lost to Beerschot, number three in the standings with 17 points.
