Outstanding performance
Sporting Charleroi•MidfielderCharleroi's superior control of the ball, evidenced by 56% possession and 291 passes to Kortrijk's 223, eventually paid off despite Kortrijk matching them for spells of the first half. Aurélien Scheidler's close-range finish gave the visitors an early lead, but Kortrijk hit straight back through Shandre Campbell's fast-break finish just seven minutes later, level at 1-1 by the 41st minute. The turning point came just after the hour when Cheick Keita headed home from a set piece to restore Charleroi's advantage, and Antoine Colassin sealed it deep into stoppage time with a counter-attack finish. Kortrijk will rue their profligacy in front of goal - just 2 shots on target from 7 attempts - while Charleroi's greater cutting edge and set-piece threat proved the difference in a result that keeps them firmly in the title conversation.
