A match of two halves. Gent started strongly, but after 20 minutes, Standard dominated play. It was a deserved 1–1 at halftime. After the break, Standard came out of the dressing room strongly. Gent weathered the storm, and—who else?—Christian Burgess headed the ball into the net from a corner to seal the final score.

SK Beveren slaagt er maar niet in om buitenshuis te winnen. Na een rode kaart voor hun keeper op het half uur mochten ze met 10 verder. Jamie Roche scoorde in het begin van de tweede helft. Een goal met een portie geluk weliswaar, 1-0. Dat werd wel de eindstand
