Match-report

Plenty of pre-match speculation as to the Royal Antwerp line up. Svilar keeps his own counsel and leaves out Kenmogne, Slovic, Pivaljevic and Ristovic as well as the injured Frankel, Trenson and Gbarssin. He juggles with the line-up, Van Trier in goal, Baert in and with the captains armband and a debut for Hairemans, 17 and the only reserve team player in the side.

KVK Tienen need a win to be certain of getting into the play off qualifiers but are weakened by injuries to Penga,Barbé, Dufoor and Haznadar.
Match Summary – 1st Half

Royal Antwerp dominate the first half, but waste any number of chances. After 4 minutes Coulibaly bursts clear but finds the keeper rather than the net. Lukanovic’s also fails to beat the keeper in a similar situation.

KVK Tienen have a solitary effort, put wide by Belme. 30 minutes in and Royal Antwerp pepper the visitors goal with shots, 3 of which are cleared on the line, including a smart back heel by Lukanovic. Tienen cannot match the good approach work of the home side and are happy to go in at the break without conceding a goal.

Half Time 0-0.
Match Summary – 2nd Half

Jelicic to the rescue at the start of the half, playing in an unorthodox left back position he goes down flat to block a shot from Nelis which is heading towards an unguarded net. Royal Antwerp counter and Lukanovic let’s fly but it is wide. It is end to end and both teams are making a real match of it.

As the clock ticks on it is the home side who gain the upper hand. Schuermans has to make a good save from Setti. Midway through the half and finally Royal Antwerp force the breakthrough they have been threatening for much of the match, Setti finds Lukanovic and his shoot is saved by Schuermans, unfortunately the ball is straight at his own defender Triantafillidis and he puts it into his own net. (1-0).

A few minutes further and the score is almost doubled, Vervaeke volleys a cross onto the post. Lukanovic gets onto a De Vriese cross but his header hits a post. Tienen are unable to make much headway although in the last few minutes they come close, Van Trier making a fine save to keep a clean sheet.

Full Time 1-0.

Svilar is given a standing ovation after the 11 match unbeaten run, but is quick to push his players to the fore to receive their due reward.

RFC Doornik are the opponents in the play off qualifiers. Get past them and there are six matches to get us into the 1st Division, a place where we belong.
