Match report
Zulte Waregem and Charleroi met at the Regenboogstadion on Sunday in the sixth round of the Jupiler Pro League. The visitors took all three points with a 1-0 victory. Jakob Napoleon Romsaas struck in the 29th minute to settle the matter. By then the hosts had already settled into a rhythm they would not break.
Charleroi managed the game after the breakthrough. They made six substitutions between the 63rd and 90th minute, bringing on fresh legs as the match wore on. Zulte Waregem responded with five changes of their own, trying to find an equaliser. The visitors held their nerve through a period of pressure. And here's the thing, Charleroi's efficiency in front of goal justified the call.
Three yellow cards came for Charleroi, while Isaac Cisse, Ousseynou Niang and Kevin Van Den Kerkhof all received bookings for the hosts. Adama Bojang picked up a card in the 90th minute as the game reached its conclusion.
We had tipped the away side to win, though our confidence stood at 40 per cent. To be fair, Charleroi's efficiency in front of goal justified the call. They created just one big chance each, but converted when it mattered.
Zulte Waregem dominated possession at 48 per cent and registered 119 attacks compared to the visitors' 102. They took ten shots but managed only two on target with a 13 per cent accuracy rate. Charleroi were more clinical, landing five shots on target from ten attempts at 33 per cent accuracy. The hosts completed 441 passes against 485 by the visitors.
The result moves Charleroi to third place on 15 points from six games. Zulte Waregem remain fifth with 11 points after three wins, two draws and a defeat.
