With nearly twenty minutes played, Marvin Baudry slipped, allowing Landry Dimata to run away with the ball and shoot it into the far corner to open the scoring for Oostende.
Zulte Waregem quickly responded as William Dutoit could only deflect a free-kick by Brian Hämäläinen against the post, which gave Derijck an easy tap in to score the equaliser.
Before half time spectators witnessed a header by Dimata, a save by Dutoit on another Hämäläinen free-kick and a shot from Musona, but the score remained 1–1 going into the break.
Henrik Dalsgaard missed a header for Zulte Waregem, but following an attacking combination, Dimata scored his second of the night, back-heeling the cross from Adam Marušić into the net to give Oostende the lead again with 54 minutes played.
Even at 2–2 both teams kept attacking, with first Onur Kaya missing a huge opportunity for Zulte Wargem followed by Sammy Bossut having to throw himself in the line of fire three times to deny Oostende a third goal.
