Gent returns to fourth division after a win against SEC. De Posthoorn defeated SEC 2-1 in the promotion playoffs. Dani Schmitz had De Posthoorn on the lead after ten minutes, but SEC equalized halfway through the first half. "After the red card, you still have to do it yourself", Schmitz said. "People think it's over, but it's never over. You have to be patient and not force it. We actually controlled the whole game, even if it took a long time for the 2-1 to fall." In the end, De Posthoorn hardly got into trouble. The team held the ball, but had to wait for the decision. That fell only a quarter of an hour before time, when Romano Hasper scored the 2-1 in a beautiful way. Schmitz: "At some point, you know that goal is going to fall, but you have to stay calm. If you play too wild, you just help the opponent back into the game." "VVZ was the most constant this season and became the rightful champion", Schmitz judged. "We were a bit more unpredictable, but we were the clear number two. That you can crown the season with promotion through the playoffs makes it very nice." While Schmitz celebrated the promotion with his daughter, coach Jouri Melkert watched from a distance. For him, the final was his last game at De Posthoorn. The coach had wanted the game to be over earlier. "We had to score again after the 1-0, we got the chances for it", Melkert said. "Then it's just another game and you play yourself more calmly. Now it remained long exciting." The red card also changed less than often thought, according to him. "Many people think it makes it easier, but it doesn't. Against ten men, you get a team that gives everything to stay in the game. Then you have to be patient and make the difference yourself. We did that in the end, but it took too long for my taste." The central defenders Thieme Kers and Dylan Bos rarely got into trouble - Photo Van Denderen After the 2-1, the tension disappeared and De Posthoorn could secure the promotion. "If you end the season like this, with a period title and promotion, you've just done what you had to do", Melkert said. "It's nice to end like this. Of course, it's a shame that it's over, but this is a good moment to close the door." After the game, the players of De Posthoorn took their leave with a banner for their coach. "That touches you, of course", Melkert enjoyed. "But two years is also a beautiful period. It's good so."
