Jupiler Pro League
Charleroi has missed the opportunity to take the lead next to Club Brugge. It gave a goal in a gift box to AA Gent, which thanks to that one hit with 16 points slides into the top 10. Ghent takes 7 out of 9, Charleroi lags behind with 5 out of 18.
Charleroi – Ghent in a nutshell
- Key moment: Fifteen minutes before the end, Morioka puts Charleroi’s best chance at Rezaei’s foot. Bolat is in the way and in the rebound Hanche-Olsen is in between. Charleroi is done with that.
- Man of the Match: The home team did not have much inspiration, but that does not detract from the performance of Andreas Hanche-Olsen. The Norwegian was the rock in the surf at the back of Ghent.
- Remarkable: It is only the first time this season that Charleroi does not find its way to goal. The Zebras also scored at least one goal in Europe. Ghent only keeps the zero for the third time.
Dessoleil plays a good holy man
Due to corona troubles, both teams missed a striker: Charleroi managed without Nicholson, Yaremchuk was missing at Ghent. The latter left a bigger gap, because Ghent had barely any people in the box in the opening phase. Charleroi then played wait-and-see and sloppy.
The first half got off the ground with great difficulty in this way. Only after half an hour did Kums shake the first shot on goal from his legs. On the other side, there was a header from Dessoleil that drifted past. For example, both teams muddled until Dessoleil gave away a goal in a gift box. The quick Bukari intercepted his pass and knocked out Penneteau.
Counteroffensive does not get off the ground
The 0-1 on the stroke of half time inspired Charleroi only moderately. After a messy start to the second half, there was suddenly an opening for Fall, but he got tangled and could not beat Bolat. Bezoes then tried again with a badly aimed lob over Penneteau.
The home team did not get into its rhythm and almost gave away a second goal. Odjidja got the ball from Berahino, but was unable to give his hard shot enough direction. Ghent remained in charge, but seemed to run out of gas after a while. The visitors retreated, but did not give too much away.
Charleroi knocked on the door one more time with a great opening from Morioka at Rezaei. Bolat prevented the equalizer and Hanche-Olsen made the danger completely harmless. A frustrated coach Belhocine was sent away in the slot. His Charleroi has lost the shared leadership position, Ghent is moving up a bit thanks to a 7 out of 9.
Odjidja: “Match plan was completely correct”
Captain Vadis Odjidja booked an important victory with Ghent. “This is very good, because we know that this is a difficult move. In the end we played a very good game, although there was some pressure at the end.”
“The game plan was completely correct”, said Odjidja. “Charleroi never came into his game. The intention was to secure the midfield. It was also good in the back. Chapeau to the whole team actually.”
Ghent also showed a lot of mentality. “We hammered hard on that in recent weeks. It was also present today. We need that to achieve results”, the midfielder concluded.
