KV Mechelen earns a point on Lokeren's field with a final score of 2-2. The visitors started the best in the game and also got the first scoring chance through Rossini. But Copa could easily catch the header of the Mechelen striker. Lokeren only came into play halfway through the first half and Renard could only with great difficulty keep top scorer Maazou from the opening goal. Lokeren takes the lead Later, Lokeren took the lead. The fast Maazou took the Mechelen defense out of action on the right, Renard could not sufficiently defend his pass and Golan was present to score. Vleminckx could still score the equalizer in the final phase of the first half, but it was rightly disallowed due to offside. Pavlovic with a blocked shot and Golan with a header over the goal, brought the home team early in the second half close to 2-0. But the goal fell on the other side. Rossini could divert a headed ball from Vleminckx past Copa and immediately the scores were level. Later, an alert Copa was needed to keep Iddi, who came in at halftime, from making it 1-2. Tension in the final phase The tension was back in the game and the duels became more intense. Both teams were not satisfied with the draw and went explicitly looking for a second goal. Golan with a nice shot made it 2-1 and the victory seemed within reach for Lokeren. But that was without taking into account Rossini, who with his second goal of the evening could still help the visitors to a draw.
