கெண்ட் எதிர் கொர்ட்ரெய்க்

Gent held on to beat Kortrijk 1-0 at the Planet Group Arena, and it took a penalty save four minutes from the end to make sure of it. The only goal arrived in the 32nd minute. Tibe De Vlieger pushed forward and found Maxi Sonko in the channel, Tiago Araújo went down the left to the byline and pulled the ball back, and Abdelkahar Kadri tapped in. It ended a spell without goals for the hosts. Kadri did not come out for the second half, with Max Dean replacing him. Kortrijk pressed for an equaliser after the break and had most of the ball for a stretch. In the 84th minute the referee went to the screen and awarded them a penalty. Captain Thierry Ambrose took it two minutes later, but Davy Roef dived to his right and kept it out. There were no red cards, only yellows for Siebe Van der Heyden, Brecht Dejaegere and Axel Drouhin. The win lifts Gent to second on 28 points, level with leaders Club Brugge, who have the better goal difference. Kortrijk stay bottom with 4 points from 11 games.
