Thanks to Adem Zorgane, Sporting de Charleroi wipes out Saint-Trond and does the good job of the weekend in the race for playoffs 2. The Zèbres take advantage of the points lost by their direct competitor to come back to within two points of the top 8.
A duel between two candidates in the top 8, Sunday evening, at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi. And for the occasion, Felice Mazzu had decided to make some changes to his base eleven, notably by establishing Nikola Stulic, who was aligned alongside Vakoun Bayo in attack.
Chances, but no goal in the first half
But it was STVV who got the first chances of the match. A header from Boya on a corner, a distance attempt from the same Boya a few moments later and a powerful strike from Bruno afterwards. Attempts that did not worry Koffi.
We had to wait fifteen minutes to see Charleroi react. With a volley from Bayo that failed centimeters above the target. Moments later, Bruno inherits a goal ball. The Trudonnaire striker tries to lob Koffi, but does not fit. At the half-hour, it was still the STVV striker who inherited a big chance, but he came up against the Sporting de Charleroi goalkeeper.
The most beautiful and the last occasion of the first act. The 22 actors return to the locker room without having found the net.

The second period then started on a false rhythm, with little interesting action for a good 20 minutes. Until Adem Zorgane’s opening goal. At the end of a very good action and on a ball badly repelled by the Trudonnaire defense, the Algerian made the Stade du Pays de Charleroi roar.
In the process, it is Vakoun Bayo who has the opportunity to kill the match twice. His first attempt fails in the side net, the second is perfectly repelled by Daniel Schmidt. In the 85th, Stefan Knezevic definitely believed to reassure Sporting, but his goal was canceled for a foul on Schmidt.
The Zèbres still wasted other chances at the very end of the match, but it was of no consequence for the troops of Felice Mazzu who won and returned to a favorable position in the race for playoffs 2. Charleroi overtook their opponent of the day , settles in tenth place and returns to two small points of the top 8.
