The last match in the Jupiler Pro League of 2025 was won by KAA Gent. At home,Ghent ended a negative series and defeated Westerlo 2-0. They escaped a deficit in the initial phase and secured the victory thanks to an intermediate sprint halfway through the first half.

AA Gent – Westerlo in a nutshell

  1. Key moment

    Things coudl have turned out wholly differently if Westerlo seized the golden opportunity after less than a minute of football. Sakamoto first collided with bitten dog Davy Roef and Ferri missed eye to eye with Paskotsi, who saved before the line.

  2. Man of the match

    A goal and a crucial save, Maksim Paskotsi had an excellent evening. just like last week against Club Brugge, the central defender scored. The 22-year-old Estonian also made no mistakes at the back.

  3. Statistics

    Only for the first time since October 25, AA Gent can win a match. The relief will be great in East Flanders before the winter break, even though the football after the break was still disappointing. A cup and league match against Anderlecht will promptly become crucial appointments after the short break.

Roef’s practice

It was a beautiful evening for the KAA Gent supporters, but it could have looked completely different. After a dramatic pass from Davy Roef, Nacho Ferri took advantage not in the first minute. paskotsi saved on the line.

AA Gent had a tough start against a smooth footballing Westerlo, until the double uppercut. It started with a gem from Hyllarion Goore, who floated the ball into the goal.

About five minutes later it was already 2-0. Paskotsi – again he – deflected a corner into the goal.

westerlo had to look in the mirror because of the space at the back, but they also had opportunities themselves. Piedfort headed just wide and Roef was ready for Ferri’s shot.

3-0 could easily have been the halftime score. in ten seconds AA Gent had three chances, but goalkeeper Jungdal, the post and Ferri stood in the way of Van der Heyden, Kanga and Ito during the pinball phase.

Westerlo taps patiently. After a while there is an acceleration on the left flank, but that only results in loss of ball after a failed one-two.
