Draw at Lommel – Deinze

Lommel had to go out to pasture tonight against Deinze, a club that also has ambitions this season. And after the better first half for Lommel, the second half was mainly up to Deinze, making a 1-1 draw is a fairly logical result.

And after just three minutes it was already there 1-0 thanks to a very clever attack by the home team. First a nice pass from Van Duiven, then the assist from Mo Sallah and, as the climax, the unstoppable shot from Rosa. Before that, Deinze had also been given a good opportunity. After that the level dropped a bit, and it went up and down rather slowly, without any real opportunities. Not until 22^ste minute we saw another shot on goal, from Van Landschoot for Deinze, and immediately afterwards a shot high over for Lommel via Mo Sallah. And afterwards it was again… nothing. Too bad for a match that had started very promisingly. Just as we wrote this, another huge opportunity for Lommel, with another great cross from Mo Sallah, but no goal for Rosa this time. And so the score was settled at 1-0.

Just three minutes into the second half, Van Duiven had the opportunity to double the lead, but the striker missed this unique opportunity. By the way, the cross was from De Grand. On the hour mark, Deinze was awarded a rather ‘easy’ penalty due to handball from Tollinson, and Dacia scored the 1-1 from the dot. Barely 7 minutes in, the visitors had another opportunity to take the lead, but this time Daci’s shot went into the side netting. In the 82nd, newly substituted Tuur Dierckx also had a good opportunity, but his shot went wide. Lommel had a particularly difficult time in this second half. And so this match ended in a fair draw.
