At the same time, Mario Stroeykens opened the scoring for Anderlecht with a superb curling shot from the left, thus justifying his surprise start (1-0, 6th minute). But Anderlecht did not make it into the top 8 as the Cercle opened the scoring at Zulte Waregem via Siquet (0-1, 6th minute). Ueda even made the break in stride, sinking Zulte Waregem towards the D1B and taking a serious option on the top 8 (0-2, 9th minute).
A quarter of an hour into the game, Union opened the scoring via Terho, also a surprise starter, and temporarily came back up to Genk at the top of the standings (0-1).
The FC Bruges festival then began when Rits scored a free kick in the top corner of Moser, allowing Rik De Mil’s men to temporarily take 4th place in Ghent (1-0, 23rd). The Blauw en Zwart doubled the lead via Jutglà just before the half-hour mark (2-0) before killing the suspense via Vanaken (3-0, 36th) and Lang (4-0, 42nd) while Ghent was… dominated by Ostend.
Meanwhile, Silva had allowed Kortrijk to equalize once morest Union (1-1, 24th) while Samatta restored the advantage to Genk on the lawn of Charleroi (1-2, 31st), rendering a great service at the Cercle de Bruges, well established in the provisional 8th place.
At the end of the half, Anderlecht cracked and conceded two goals from Schoofs in quick succession, bringing the Mauves a little closer to a premature end to the season (1-1 and 1-2) while D’Haene scored a penalty in two times, which sent the Union five points behind Genk (1-2).
This end of the first half was also fatal to Standard, which saw Opoku take advantage of an error by Bokadi to surprise an overly advanced Bodart (1-0, 43rd).
On returning from the locker room, Nkuba revived the suspense in the race for the Europe Playoffs by equalizing once morest Genk (2-2, 51st). The Zèbres then returned to a small goal of the top 8. At the same time, Slimani equalized once morest Mechelen but the case of the RSCA is much more desperate (2-2, 53rd). Another hopeless case: that of Standard who equalized via Bokadi but remained far from the race for the top 4 in view of the Bruges card (1-1, 55th).
In this same race for the top 4, Ghent continued to stammer his football and even saw Hornby open the scoring in favor of Ostend (0-1, 52nd).
Any benefit for Bruges which continued to unfold: Rits offered a double before Jutglà converted the set point (6-0). Completely ridiculous, Eupen owes its survival only to the defeat of Zulte Waregem… who revived the suspense via Willen (1-2, 59th). A goal that also allowed the Zebras to believe a little stronger in the Europe Playoffs.
On the Louvain side, Thorsteinsson restored the advantage to Louvain with a panenka, on a penalty conceded by Laifis on Tamari (2-1, 63rd), before offering himself a double by winning his duel once morest Bodart following a good service from Maertens (3-1, 67th).
In the 68th minute, Watanabe scored once morest his side and allowed the Union to equalize (2-2, 67th) before Terho restored the advantage to the Unionists (2-3, 72nd). But it is on the side of the rainbow stadium that this 34th day became crazy. Ndour equalized for Zulte (2-2, 68th) and Cercle lost their 8th place to Charleroi while Zulte had only one goal to score to save his skin in D1A.
For its part, Ghent relaunched the race for the top 4 by equalizing once morest Ostend thanks to a goal from Cuypers (1-1, 76th) before Batzner definitively offered the top 4 to FC Bruges (1-2, 87th).
In the race for the top 8, Bates cooled Anderlecht, who might once more believe in the Playoffs, by making 2-3 on a caviar from Schoofs (81st), while Somers replaced the Cercle in 8th place while killing the hopes of Zulte Waregem (2-3, 83rd).
FC Bruges ended their health walk with a final goal from Jutglà (7-0) while Union made the break via Adingra (2-4, 84th) and Standard reduced the gap thanks to Melegoni (3- 2), to no avail.
The last game to end was Zulte-Cercle, where the locals were unable to score the two goals necessary to keep them in stoppage time. The Cercle therefore won and validated their ticket to the Europe Playoffs to the detriment of Charleroi.
