This shows that the attacks took precedence over the defenses and that both Lepoint and Heyssens spent most of their time looking for the ball in their nets! “It was a match as spectacular as it was strange, notes Julien Donche who did not take part in this offensive festival, his goal counter showing zero. The meeting was marked by an avalanche of goals: 45 in total, a record! Despite the performance impressive offensive, the team showed weaknesses in defense by conceding too much! A situation that hasn’t happened for years now.”
The Rostamian Thorn
Former goalkeeper, Akos Biro was far from delighted by the performance of his team who suffered too much against a confusing Rostamian in the visiting camp. Author of ten goals, the Kortrijk spearhead did very badly. “The coach did not hide his disappointment in the face, in particular, of a second theme described as a nightmare. It was a dry breakdown in defense, which allowed KWK to remain very threatening throughout the match. Fortunately, our scorers responded, experience and tactical intelligence in certain phases made it possible to make the difference.” The six roses planted by Canonne, the five by Naumchyk and Metodiev, as well as the four by Labreg, were indeed saving!
Aalst in the championship
Trailing 12-13 at mid-match, the RDM was able to raise its head, relying on the fervor of an audience who came in large numbers despite the weekday schedule. “We are still in contention in this Cup race by reaching the quarter-finals, but we will have to tighten up the defense to hope to go further, notes Julien Donche who is now preparing to get another taste of the championship with his teammates, the modest Aalst being on the program for this Saturday. An away match for which the players will want to perform better defensively, being aware of their recent performance, in order to maintain our first place.”
