Dender vs Lommel

FCV Dender EH's relegation playoff campaign came to an abrupt end at Van Roy Stadium, as a second leg they desperately needed to win ended in a goalless draw. The 0-0 result was enough for Lommel SK, who progress 3-2 on aggregate after winning the first leg a week earlier. With nothing to separate the sides on the night, the story was told in yellow cards rather than chances. The match turned fractious inside the final quarter-hour, with bookings for Banguera (75'), Oware (77'), Marijnissen (86'), Boukammiri (88') and Moutha-Sebtaoui (90+4') — the last of those for dissent as tempers boiled over in stoppage time. No red cards, no penalties; just mounting frustration from a Dender side that never found a way through. Lommel SK, steered by manager Lee Johnson, advance in the playoff and live to fight another day. For Dender and coach Yannick Ferrera, it is a painful two-leg exit, leaving their top-flight future deeply uncertain.
