Due to a sanction, no spectators were allowed on the Kiel. To reinforce that gloomy atmosphere, Beerschot and AA Gent served a weak and disappointing spectacle.
Gent, which kept a lot of strongmen on the bench, put the maligned striker Lemajic in position a few times, but the Serb failed again. On the other side, a nice place ball from Sebaoui narrowly missed.
On the stroke of half-time, AA Gent succeeded. Not Lemajic, but De Sart was in the right place to hit the target. Soon after, Beerschot immediately came alongside, Roef kept Shankland from the quick equalizer.
Even after the break there was hardly anything more to do on the field than next to it. However, the game still had a surprise in store: Lemajic silenced his critics with a clever header, which immediately put the game in a decisive fold.
Except for a shot from Suzuki, Beerschot had no reaction in the house. The relegation is now really unavoidable. AA Gent, for its part, continues to fight for the Champions’ play-offs.
