Cup of Belgium AA Gent and KV Oostende write together a thriller, which is next week Wednesday its dénouement at sea. With nine against ten they held each other last night in balance.
‘The evidence is the biggest danger’, warned Ivan De Witte in the run-up to the first leg between AA Gent and KV Oostende. Who had expected that the Buffalo’s just about KVO would walk, was quite disappointed. But spectacle was over in the Ghelamco Arena, especially when in the last half hour with nine against ten football was in oceans of space. The conclusion following next week to the coast, where Ostend, with the home advantage and two uitgoals a dash for it.
AA Gent started with that team against Anderlecht confidence had tanked, the suspended Vadis Odjidja after. His place was taken by Brecht Dejaegere. Gert Verheyen changed the team on Mouscron lost four places. The most notable name was that of Amin Nouri, who is hired, of Valerengen and in the Ghelamco Arena his first minutes for KVO was allowed to make. A name that you later will encounter.
AA Gent started brightly. KV Oostende was in a double-the-board reduction for the purpose of Dutoit, who already asked a favour of Bronn under the cover strip road, needed to pick up. Ostend was hardly in those initial stages. And if it did, played it so sloppy that it’s the ball soon was lost. The logical 1-0 came midway through the first half, when Yaremchuk a perfect cross from Sørloth outside the range of Dutoit within headlined. Sunday against Anderlecht were the roles have reversed, but it is clear that the Noor and the Oekraïner to each other, easy to find.
