**On matchday 3 of the Relegation Play-Offs, Cercle travelled to face bottom side Dender in Denderleeuw. In the first half, Kondo scored for Groen-Zwart and Mbamba for Dender. In the second half, Cercle pulled away thanks to goals from Diaby, Ngoura and Diop. With this defeat, Dender is now certain to finish last in the Relegation Play-Offs.**

#### Early lead cancelled at the end of the first half

Groen-Zwart started the game in explosive fashion and took the lead after less than two minutes. Nazinho found Kondo with a free kick, and he headed home from distance past Gallon. A perfect start.

Dender struggled with the visitors’ high pressing, leading to several chances early on. Ngoura found Vanzeir in the box, who set up Diop, but his shot went over. Ngoura also showed great skill but couldn’t create real danger due to a tight angle.

Midway through the first half, Vanzeir had a big chance to double the lead after good work from Nazinho, but Ngoura’s shot from close range was too central and saved by Gallon.

Around the half-hour mark, Dender thought they had equalised through Hrncar, but the goal was disallowed by VAR due to an offside by Jahanbakhsh.

Towards the end of the first half, Dender became more dangerous. Tosevski first missed the target, but three minutes later Mbamba equalised with a powerful strike from the edge of the box.

### Groen-Zwart pull away in the second half

Cercle once again took an early lead in the second half from a set piece, with Diaby scoring from close range after a poorly cleared corner.

Less than ten minutes later, Ngoura made it 1-3 with a brilliant strike into the top corner.

The 1-4 also came from a set piece, as Diop finished at the far post after a flick-on.

Dender looked beaten, while Cercle kept pushing for more goals. A second goal for Ngoura was disallowed due to offside by Vanzeir.

In the final stages, Dender tried to respond through Nsimba and Mbamba, but Cercle secured a comfortable victory.
