The visitors opened the scoring at the half-hour mark and scored two more goals before half-time (0-3). Ottignies reignited the suspense from the restart, but he definitely gave up following the penalty conceded in the process. “We started the match well, we had a goal and two or three dangerous situations, but we gave up a little when they managed to score. We came back with good intentions, but the penalty cut us off. , summarizes the local coach, Éric Zikonda. I think we came across a great team, well organized, which perhaps played on our weaknesses. Despite defeat, we do not give up. The goal is to continue our good run and there will be another final to win against them on the return leg.”
However, the Wavriennes isolated themselves in the lead and took a nice psychological advantage over their competitors in the title race. “But, the championship is still far from over, warns Stéphane Demiddeleer. We must not waste points elsewhere, starting with Nivelles B this weekend, then continuing this momentum in the second round.”
