Jupiler Pro League
STVV sees its chances of reaching the Europe Play-offs dwindle after a scoreless draw against Ostend. For both teams, the season seems to have come to an end with 5 games from the end.
Ostend – STVV in a nutshell:
- Key moment: The final whistle. Both teams lacked finesse in the zone of truth. It produced few chances and a spectacle score is a logical result.
- Man of the match: In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto was very active, especially in the first half. He once let his technique admire against the sidelines. His bobbin was a bit off in the second half.
- Remarkable: After three victories and thus a 9 out of 9, STVV spills the points again. It also escaped defeat, because in the second half especially Ostend claimed the three points.
Searching for opportunities with a magnifying glass
We can be brief about the match between KV Oostende – STVV. Lots of struggle, midfield play, but oh so few chances. Hara once headed wide and on the other side Gueye brushed the leather over. We had to deal with that for a long time.
It was waiting for a commotion. On that one class flash in the zone of truth. Durkin was short, but his header sailed wide. Goalkeeper Scherpen was beaten there.
If one team could claim the three points, then KV Oostende. The Kustboys increased the pressure a bit. Much more than opportunities for Rocha Santos (2 times) and a header from Fortes did not yield.
If you haven’t followed this game, you certainly haven’t missed anything. In the end, both teams split the cake.
Sakamoto’s beautiful song:
Capon: “A logical 0-0”
Brecht Capon (KV Oostende): “Both goalkeepers didn’t really get work. We tried, but didn’t find that opening either. STVV was good and we were perhaps not creative enough to play them out of context. So it became a logical 0-0.”
