After the Belgian Cup break, the 13th day of JPL opened in Kempen between Westerlo and promoted Dender.
Dender, promoted and surprised at the start of the season, traveled to Westerlo. The first city said goodbye to the Belgian Cup in the middle of the week, after its defeat at Zulte Waregem, while the Campinese beat the RWDM and continue their adventure.
By riding on their cup qualification, Westerlo did it again this evening, in the championship, by dismissing the promoted side. The Frigan – Sayyadmanesh duo allowed the Campinois to win the bet and return to the upper echelons of the ranking, after their meager record of one point out of nine.
Sayyadmanesh took advantage of an error by Dender Goncalves’ defender to recover the ball and throw Frigan deep towards the opener (36th). After the break, Sayyadmanesh converted a penalty without trembling, fixing the final score at 2-0 (72nd).
Thanks to this victory, Westerlo temporarily overtakes Anderlecht in the standings. Dender remains in eighth place with 16 points, Vincent Euvrard’s men have a second defeat in a row before welcoming OHL.
