On the last day of the season, KAA Gent ensured they will be playing European football next season. The Buffalos crowned a good first half with a lovely goal from Kubo. In the second half, Brugge applied a lot of pressure but Gent held firm, while at the other end Andrijasevic and Kubo had good chances but were denied by Horvath and the bar. Gent came away with the victory, so holding off Genk in the battle for fourth—making sure of a place in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League!

Away at KRC Genk, Kubo opened the scoring after 15 minutes, following an assist from Chakvetadze. A well-organised Gent had the match under control for a long time, until midway through the second half when Samatta netted an equaliser out of the blue. In the final minutes both Rosted and Dejaegere picked up second yellow cards, but the nine-men Buffalos held on for a valuable point, taking them to fourth in the league.

With so few chances in the first half, the visitors got ahead with a lucky shot from an intercepted cross from Rezaei. Gent looked for the equalizer after half time, but it was only in the last moments that their chances appeared. The pole, a super save by Penneteau and a save on the line all prevented the Buffalos from picking up three – or even a single – point.
