Before the match, Chris Janssens was named player of the season. Yoni Buyens was second, and Sven Van der Jeugt third.
The first half hour saw half chances at both ends. After 24 minutes, a free kick from Janssens found the head of Bojovic, but Deprez saved without too much difficulty. A minute later, a good looping header from De Ridder nearly caught Van der Jeugt too far out of his goal, but he was able to pluck the ball out of the air. On 32 minutes, a good through ball from Cavens, and Rimkus chipped over the advancing Deprez - 1-0 Lierse. In the last minute of the first half, Samir shot under the diving Deprez from a tight angle, but a Hamme defender was able to clear from the line.
The second half saw more possession from Hamme. Lierse’s best chance came on 71 minutes. A free kick from Rimkus, Janssens shot on target, and produced a superb reflex save from Deprez. A real scare for Lierse on 84 minutes, Van der Heyden cut in from the left, and shot against the left hand post. That was the last real chance at either end.
