Zulte Waregem has eliminated the last second division team with Deinze. Deinze was boss for 80 minutes and might have deserved more than a 1-0 lead. Essevee woke up in the last 10 minutes. Ndour was the hero with 2 hits.

Deinze-Zulte Waregem in a nutshell
Key moment: Deinze was lord and master for one half and just continues the line after the break, first with Balaj’s 1-0 and 5 minutes later with a ball on the post by Van Landschoot. In the end, the 2-0 does not fall and Zulte Waregem continues to believe in it.
Man of the Match: Alioune Ndour was in the pocket of the Deinze defense for 80 minutes, but twice he is still lost sight of and twice it is a cash register for Essevee and his treasurer.
History: Deinze had never progressed further than the 1/8th finals in his history and that milestone has not been exceeded even now.
Al Deinze what the clock strikes
Anyone who had given one cent about Zulte Waregem’s chances after 80 minutes was declared crazy. An appallingly weak Essevee – which could invoke many sick and injured people as an excuse – barely touched the enemy target.
Deinze, on the other hand, played with confidence as a first division player. If the first half was still boring and sterile, there was something to experience after the break. Balaj took advantage of too much space at the 1-0.
Apparently Zulte Waregem had not learned his lesson, because Van Landschoot was also allowed to twist and turn to his heart’s content. His shot eventually bounced off the post. Bossut had to save again on a header from Almenara.
The venom is in the tail
Meanwhile, Mbaye Leye kept dropping attackers into his squad like paratroopers. Deinze didn’t seem impressed, until a penalty miss by Ramirez set the flames in the Waregem pan.
Suddenly things went fast. Ndour apparently had hidden well, because he appeared unthreatened at the far post for the 1-1. He had a lot more to do with the winning goal. Hard as a pruning he nailed the ball into the cross.
At Deinze they didn’t really know what had happened to them. There was not enough time to react. Zulte Waregem escapes and can count itself lucky. Although those first 80 minutes will make Leye think.
Staelens: “There was only 1 team on the field”
Alessio Staelens (Deinze): “There was only one team on the field today. I’m very disappointed, I have no words for this. Zulte Waregem didn’t get one chance until that penalty. How did it turn? They used 3-4 strikers And then we came under pressure anyway.”
Sammy Bossut (Zulte Waregem): “We didn’t start well, but they were lucky to take the lead. We do know that we can come back after a deficit. We have character in the team. It is to our credit that we have not given up and have continued to fight. must give confidence for our next match, against STVV.”

On the pole! The defensive organization at Zulte Waregem is really sad. A man forewarned is worth two, but not this Essevee, because Van Landschoot, like Balaj, is given plenty of space. He also tries to place the ball: on the post! . second half, minute 51.
