Lierse deservedly won 3-1 at home to KV Ostend on Saturday evening, thanks to goals from Bojovic, Miller & Jarju.

Not much happened in the opening 20 minutes, and there were only slight chances on goal. Ostend came for a point, Lierse applied pressure, but initially were unable to break through the defence.

Just before the half-hour mark came the first major chance, Ernandes laid the ball back to the unmarked Wahed, but he shot over. Just afterwards a good corner from Rimkus, Bojovic rose head and shoulders over everyone, and headed into the far corner, 1-0. Just before the break, a chance for Miller from a pass from Frans, but his shot was too weak.

In the second half Ostend tried to threaten, and Lierse were pushed back, without giving away any real chances on goal. On the hour mark, Janssens came on as sub, and reignited Lierse. In the space of three minutes, Lierse made it 3-0, Miller outwitted the keeper with a hard shot, and Jarju scored his 12th of the season with an accurate header. The tempo went out of the match, and Ostend were able to score a consolation goal after sloppy defending from Lierse. Final score 3-1.

Lierse travel to Olympic Charleroi next week.
