The supporters of ViCeNzA booed when Winksele 2016 was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 83 match minutes in a wonderful position. Wannes Louckx didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Baltasar Silbestre in the 85th minute of play forced Winksele 2016's goalkeeper Sem Severens to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
