KV Oostende – Antwerp in a nutshell:

Key moment: With 20 minutes left on the clock, Bätzner misses the chance to score the tying goal. He places his penalty against the post. The sign that the turnaround was not for today.

Man of the Match: There was no need to really shine, but goal scorers Muja and Janssen were involved in every chance of Antwerp. At KVO, Sakamoto tried unsuccessfully to change course.

Statistics: For the first time since mid-September, Antwerp wins again away from home in the Jupiler Pro League. End of a lesser series.

Antwerp saves strength against “snack” Ostend

Without supporters – who expressed their dissatisfaction with the calendar by not coming to Ostend – Antwerp started the match scorching.

The first injections remained without consequences, but the first big chance was a hit. Muja put away the 0-1 well. It inspired striker Vincent Janssen to curl a ball to the far corner not much later.

Antwerp shifted down a few gears. The signal for Ostend to take over.

Although the commitment was there at KVO, the finish left much to be desired. Even from the penalty spot, Bätzner was unable to get the ball within the goal frame. With Durdov’s attempt on the crossbar, the home team was sure it wasn’t for today.

Van Bommel’s fresh forces wanted to show themselves for a while. Nsimba capitalized on his second chance and secured the final score, good for a first away win since September. KVO is knee-deep in the relegation swamp.

6th loss in a row for Ostend: “We can’t score”

  • Anton Tanghe (Ostend): “We don’t actually play a bad match, but the first times they cross the halfway line, they immediately score 2 times. I had the feeling that if we scored 1 time, there would certainly be more. But when you see how many chances we had and still couldn’t score. The match could have lasted a long time for Antwerp. This is our 6th defeat in a row, but we don’t look at the past. The match against Cercle is even more important than today’s. Then it is of If we keep playing like this and finish our chances, then we should be able to win again.”
  • Mark van Bommel (coach Antwerp): “You see 0-3 and you think: easy win. But at times we made it difficult for ourselves. We couldn’t possibly make it more difficult for ourselves, but it happened anyway. Through stupid moments we give the opponent the feeling that there is maybe there was still something to pick up.”
