Lommel SK vs Dender

Lommel SK pulled off a dramatic first-leg victory over FCV Dender EH, winning 3-2 in a pulsating promotion/relegation playoff at the Soevereinstadion, with Zalán Vancsa settling it deep into stoppage time. Desmond Acquah put Dender in front on 34 minutes, but Ralf Seuntjens levelled for Lommel shortly after the hour (55'). Mohamed Berte thought he'd won it for the visitors at 83', only for Seuntjens to equalise again at 86'. With a draw seemingly on the cards, Vancsa delivered the sucker punch six minutes into stoppage time to send the Soevereinstadion into raptures. Dender picked up three yellow cards across the afternoon. Lommel SK head into next week's second leg with a precious one-goal advantage, while Dender must overturn a deficit on home soil to protect their Jupiler Pro League status.
