The only feat of arms in the first quarter of an hour was the early exit due to injury of Leuven captain Siebe Schrijvers. Banzuzi took his place in midfield. The first opportunity of the match came in the 25th minute. On a Leuven counterattack, Balikwisha combined well with Maertens. The former Rouche found and offered a vicious cross that Epolo pushed away. On the second ball, Balikwisha entered the game before releasing a powerful shot deflected into a corner by the Rouche goalkeeper.
In the process, the danger became clearer for the Leuven team. After a mix-up in the area, Maertens recovered before shooting towards goal but the ball was deflected in extremis for a corner.
OHL deservedly opened the scoring shortly after the half-hour mark. Banzuzi entered the game from the left before passing the ball to N’Dri in the box. With his back to goal, the striker got the better of Bates too easily before shooting in one go. His cross shot deceived Epolo, who was too static on this action.
The compositions:
OHL : Leysen, Ominami, Ricca, Vlietinck, Mendyl, Verstraete, Schrijvers, Maziz, Balikwisha, Maertens, N’Dri
Standard : Epolo, Sutalo, Bates, Ngoy, Fossey, Camara, O’Neill, Price, Kuavita, Bulat, Benjdida.
