Finally. After a two out of fifteen, OH Leuven was able to win again. And how. It rolled Seraing up 5-0 and is in the top eight again. A firm boost to withdraw from the World Cup break.
It was an emotional evening in Leuven, because Marc Brys saw his loyal assistant Issame Charaï leave for the U23 of Morocco after ten years. Seraing was the most eager team in the opening phase, but in the end Charaï received a worthy parting gift. OHL came more and more into the game and after just over twenty minutes that led to a goal. De Norre placed wide on Maertens, who curled the 1-0 wonderfully against the nets. The people of Leuven pushed on, and with success. Sissoko pulled Ricca to the ground and after the intervention of the VAR the ball hit the spot. The inevitable Gonzalez drove his eleventh of the season to the left without hesitation.

A few minutes after the 2-0 it was all over for Seraing, who fell with ten. Sissoko made a stupid and dangerous charge on Maertens and had to take a shower. OHL took advantage quickly. Kiyine went deep and attacked, but ran into a red-black defender. In the rebound, De Norre coolly pushed in number three. And it was not yet over for the first half, because the people of Leuven decorated a second penalty when Mbow knocked Tamari down. Kiyine neatly aimed the 4-0 into the top left corner.
After the break, OHL became less clear and no more goals followed for a while, until substitute Nsingi made it 5-0 deep into the final. He headed a wonderful cross from Mendyl against the nets..
