Zulte Waregem almost took the lead at half-time thanks to a headed goal from Matheus Machado, but his goal was disallowed for a handball after a VAR intervention (43rd).
The first goal of the match fell shortly after the hour mark and was scored from the penalty spot by Jelle Vossen (66th, 1-0). While Zulte Waregem seemed to be heading towards a victory in this first round, Henry Oware decided otherwise by equalizing in the last moments (89th, 1-1).
