KAA Gent triumphs in the final minute against Standard

On the final matchday of Play-Off 1, KAA Gent secured fifth place thanks to their third successive win. The game against Anderlecht began perfectly for the home side with a goal from Kvilitaia in the second minute. Gent created enough chances to increase their lead, but failed to convert any of them. In fact, it was Anderlecht who scored next, when Bolasie tapped in with 15 minutes to go. But it was David who had the last word, sliding the ball into the corner to seal a 2-1 win for the Buffalos.

The first half of the game away at Antwerp was an even affair. Gent were very unlucky to go one down after an own goal from Bronn, before David equalised on the stroke of half time. The Buffalos were the better team after the break, but could not get a second, and when Bronn was sent off it seemed like a draw was the best they could hope for. But that was before Sorloth popped up in the 94th minute, knocking a screamer past Bolat to secure Gent their second win on the bounce.

KAA Gent were unable to pick up any points against Play Off leaders KRC Genk. The first half was an equal affair, and it was Verstraete and Asare who had the best chances, but they could not beat Vukovic. After the break, the men from Limburg were the stronger team, and they took the lead through a fantastic flick from Trossard. The Buffalos were unable to find an equaliser, so Genk went home with all three points.
