“Mustapha Isah breaks the deadlock for La Louvière after a chaotic goalmouth sequence. Ismaila Coulibaly's right-footed shot is blocked and Shaquil Delos sees his left-footed effort saved, but Isah is on hand to tap home assisted by Mame Wade.”
Pivotal“Momodou Sonko equalises for Gent after the visitors build momentum through a corner and sustained pressure, restoring parity and settling Gent's nerves after a shaky opening.”
Pivotal“From the very first moment of the second half, Gent turn the match on its head. Ibrahima Cissé converts following a corner to make it 1-2 — a gut-punch for La Louvière who had just seen Kadri's effort cannon off the post at the other end.”

Gent came from behind to claim a hard-fought 2-1 victory at La Louvière, with the game's decisive blow landing in almost cinematic fashion — right on the stroke of half-time. La Louvière made the brighter start, Mustapha Isah converting after a busy spell of pressure that included two blocked shots in quick succession, but Gent steadied themselves and levelled through Momodou Sonko on 20 minutes following a corner-driven spell. The match appeared destined for 1-1 at the break until Ibrahima Cissé struck immediately after the whistle, exploiting a corner situation to flip the scoreline and deflate the home side. Gent were the more controlled side in possession — 55% against 45% — and, crucially, more clinical, converting two of their three shots on target compared to La Louvière's five shots on target yielding just a single goal. The home side were not without threat, posting 11 shots and 41 dangerous attacks, but their inability to create big chances proved costly, while Gent needed only two big chances to turn the game in their favour.
