A double from Gano (23rd and 36th) for the Flandrians and a hat-trick from Prevljak (71st, 81, 94th) for the Pandas animated the meeting. Zulte Waregem took control and established his authority in the first half. After a golden opportunity missed by Kutesa (20th), Gano opened the scoring for the visitors in the lead, after being found by a cross from Fadera behind the defenders (0-1, 22nd). The striker returned the cover ten minutes from half-time by taking a header from a millimeter center from Dompé, while he was alone at the penalty spot in Eupen (0-2, 36th).
Dominated in the first half, Eupen returned to the race in the last thirty minutes. After a missed save by Bossut, Prevljak jumped up to push the ball over the goalkeeper and open the German-speaking counter (1-2, 68th). The equalizer came following a poorly negotiated corner by the defense of Zulte Waregem: Prevljak was once again illustrated by receiving a center back at 6 meters (2-2, 81st), thus forcing extensions.
The Pandas finally took the advantage for the first time at the start of the additional thirty minutes of play: Prevljak offered himself a hat-trick in one end on a sleazy service from Peeters (3-2, 94th). This goal was enough for the Eupenois to resist for the last twenty-five minutes and ensure qualification for the quarter-finals.
OHL surprises Westerlo in the dying minutes, makes it to the quarter-finals
On Wednesday evening, Oud Heverlee Louvain took the victory, 2-3 on the lawn of Westerlo, the leader of the D1B, in the round of 16 of the Belgian Football Cup. Qualification fell in the dying minutes of the meeting with two Leuven achievements. The meeting started in an eventful manner with a double red card for Mabea and Mercier (17th) following a scuffle. Ten against ten, Westerlo took the ascendancy a few minutes later via Remmer (1-0, 22nd).
In the second half, De Norre tied the teams (1-1, 55th) before Bernat replaced Westerlo in charge (2-1, 67th). The situation turned around at the very end of the match. First, Schrijvers scored the equalizing goal for Leuven (2-2, 89th), then Maertens offered the qualification to his team at the end of the suspense (2-3, 90th + 3).
Anderlecht had obtained the first ticket for the quarters after the penalties (3-4), Tuesday night in Seraing (3-3 after).
