In the first half there was little to enjoy. Both Lierse and Union produced scrappy football. Lierse almost took the lead just before the break via Janssens, but he hit the bar. After Cavens came in for the start of the second half, Lierse played better. Janssens opened the scoring, knocking in a rebound from a hard shot from Wahed. Union also had some great chances, but couldn’t score when the ball was twice clered from the Lierse goal line. When Jarju put Cavens through, the game was won: 2-0.
