THREE VALUABLE POINTS

BEERSCHOT - DEINZE  2 - 0

Third win in a row for Beerschot who, after victories at Virton and Knokke in the FA Cup, now handsomely beat Deinze. Baeten and Thorisson scored late in the first half and early in the second but the 2-0 final score could or should have been more convincingly as our Mannekes created two handful of chances. But the woodork and visiting goalkeeper Miras denied us on several occasions.

Beerschot started slowly while Deinze claimed the initiative and threatened with shots from De Belder and Dansoko. A couple of sighs of relief in the stands when they put the ball wide and over. After twenty minutes the match become more even but our build up was too sloppy at times. Thorisson had a goal disallowed for offside. On the brink of half time Baeten broke the deadlock from the penalty spot after Verlinden was fouled in the box by Fraser. Thibo's sixth of the season already. 

Deinze kept going forward and created their best chance soon after but De Belder's drive was saved by Lathouwers and Van Landschoot's rebound went wide.

Five minutes after the break the game was in the bag when Thorisson scored a second from a low Baeten cross. With 2-0 on the scorebord Beerschot found their rhythm, produced some neat football with good pressure, flowing combinations and plenty of gozal scoring opportunities. However Sanusi saw his header saved in the low corner by Miras while Baeten,Thorisson and Verlinden were denied by the crossbar, the post and the visiting goalkeeper who was by far their star player.
