KV Kortrijk was doomed, but the West Flemish people suddenly came alive again. Frere Alexandersson's troops won a six-point match against RWDM 3-2. KVK is now at Eupen's level and breathing down RWDM's neck. The relegation battle is still very interesting.
There was a real vault crusher on the program at the Guldenspoorstadion. Red Lantern KV Kortrijk looked ahead to RWDM in 14th place in the standings. It was a crucial match, especially for the home team. When Kortrijk came in front, he was two points behind the Brussels residents. Fans provided an extra boost by presenting a beautiful tifo.
KVK coach Freyr Alexandersson put Berard under the bar again – at the expense of Vandenberghe. Target striker Avenatti was surprisingly played in midfield. His colleague Bruno Earls chose the eleven expected names.
After only nine minutes, the home team took the lead. Davies took full advantage of errors in the RWDM defence. The Welshman parried Defourney with a cunning touch. KVK seemed to have everything under control, but suddenly Berard made a huge mistake on a corner kick. The Liège native simply dropped the ball and Peron should not be given such an opportunity. He eagerly accepted the gift. After the equalizer, RDWM were suddenly the better team. Domoh had scored 1-2 at his feet, but shot at Berrard from close range.
Just over an hour later, the Goldenspurstadion exploded again. Kadri curled a wonderful free kick past Defourny into the net. But KVK could not enjoy the top spot for long. Almost two minutes later, Rennes Adelaide – through Mambasi's leg – leveled the boards again. KVK was shocked for a moment, but they still took the lead for the third time. Kadri scored from a penalty kick. The West Flemish team held their ground and got a vital three-pointer. KVK supporters in for a long night of celebration.
