Dn his desire to grab points to save his head in D1A, Excel forgot an essential deal: you have to shoot on goal to win, because the opponent does not always offer victory over a self-goal, like the Standardman Siquet. In the first period, only Lepoint, on a pass from Ciranni, and the latter, infiltrated in the heart of the game, attempted the exercise, while Ostend sprayed the box with Capon’s crosses and ten corners, all kicked differently and dangerous.

Shortly before the break, Koffi also narrowly escaped the penalty on one of these corner shots, taken by Sakala in front of the line. Video assistance saved the goalkeeper for an offside position that Théate did not understand. And after the break, the “Cat” misjudged his exit from a corner, without consequence.
