Gent – LNZ Cherkasy

Gent’s home ground remained a fortress of silence as the Belgian side and LNZ Cherkasy settled for a goalless draw, leaving Gent perched in second place with 16 points from five wins and a draw, having out‑scored opponents 11‑3. The Ukrainian visitors, languishing at the foot of the table in 96th place, stayed unbeaten but still only on two points after two stalemates and a barren goal return. Both teams entered the match having already met once this season, that encounter also ending in a dead‑heat, so the pattern of mutual caution persisted. The point keeps Gent within striking distance of the leaders, while Cherkasy remains trapped at the bottom with no chance of climbing the table yet.
