If you can’t beat Eupen at home, you know it’s going to be tough. After losing 1-3 to the “Pandas”, KV Kortrijk is still desolate finally with 0 out of 12. Next week against Standard, there should be a win already.
After the painful 6-0 defeat against Antwerp, Sissako and Ambrose, among others, joined the ranks of KVK. Both players were on the spot at kickoff. Eupen coach Florian Kohfeldt has given newcomer Finnbogason (ex-Lokeren) a starting place. The home team got off to a strong start. Avenatti was very close twice in the opening phase, but was blocked by Eupen Slonina goalkeeper and the post. Eupen responded to this with half chances, but did not manage to embarrass Vandenberghe.
After 37 minutes of play, the lightning-quick Di Neve took advantage of Nouhu in the sixteen-metre area. The VAR called the referee Denil to the screen, but he disobeyed the advice. Brilliant decision. In the first half, Ambrose sprained his ankle. He could not continue and had to be replaced by Davis – another KVK newbie.
The second half got off to a slow start, but out of the blue Eupen was leading 0-2. Magne and Keita hit the target. KVK looked like a bird for the cat, but with clever individual work Kadri gave the Southwest Flemish side some hope once again. The team’s fans went after their entire team, but to no avail. Avenatti was sent off for a header to Davidson and the substitute made it 3-1. KVK continues to languish at the bottom of the standings with a score of 0 out of 12. Eupen never misses a start with 7 out of 12.
