Dender managed to force promotion to the first division in their own stadium, but wasted the opportunity by losing 1-4 to Zulte Waregem. After that, one stage continued to resonate with coach Timmy Simmons.
Dender still has control and remains in first place for second place and therefore direct promotion, but he will have to beat Franks Borens next week.
Dender played a closed match against Zlti Waregem at home for a long time until the match was decided in one moment. “The penalty kick and the red look very difficult for me,” Dunder coach Timmy Simons said after the match.

“On the other hand, the referee can also give a goal and he doesn't do that. With Zolte, the ball goes to the penalty spot because of a foul on the goal line, with us he doesn't do that. The foul on Mbarki was not a red card, but why wasn't that a penalty kick? ? Simmons wondered aloud after the game.
“Then maybe it was 1-1 and you could think more about defending, but no, it was 0-2. They scored at the right moments. Based on the second half, they deserved to win after the red card.” Simmons admitted.
But he saw that his team did not play a bad match despite the large numbers. The Dender coach concluded his speech by saying: “They fought in the match after the score ended 0-2 and gave everything for 95 minutes. Today we faced a very mature team. We still have a chance next week.”
