Zulte Waregem vs Royal Charleroi Sporting Club

Zulte Waregem snapped a miserable run of form with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Charleroi at the Elindus Arena on Sunday. Danish forward Jeppe Erenbjerg struck just before half-time to settle a tense Gameweek 30 encounter. Erenbjerg found the net in the 41st minute to give the hosts a lead they would never relinquish. It was a fiery, fractious affair — eight yellow cards were shown across both sides, with tempers boiling over in a chaotic final ten minutes that saw bookings fly for Malick Mbaye, Benoit De Jaegere, and Wilguens Paugain among others. Charleroi pushed for a leveller but lacked the cutting edge to break down a resolute Waregem defence. Filip Szymczak and Antoine Colassin picked up cards for their frustrations as the visitors' afternoon ended in disappointment. The win lifts Zulte Waregem to 32 points, closing the gap to 11th-placed Charleroi to just two. For the promoted side sitting 14th, this could prove pivotal in their survival bid.
