Thanks to goals from Marius Mouandilmadji (5th on penalty, 36th) and Antoine Bernier (39th), the Steelworkers (16th) have three points just like the Pandas (17th), who reduced the gap by Gary Magnée (60th). Seraing abandons its red lantern in Saint-Trond which will have the opportunity to improve its fate on Saturday followingnoon in Ostend. Eupen also has three points, won on July 31 once morest champions Club Brugge. The loss to Antwerp did not cause a stir in Eupen where Bernd Storck reunited with the suspended Stef Peeters, sent Jérôme Deom to the bench and once more fielded Lennart Moser in goal instead of Abdul Nurudeen. Among the Steelworkers, José Jeunechamps preferred Sandro Tremoulet to Simon Elisor. A first highlight directly enamelled the meeting with the VAR alerting Arthur Denil, who had not seen a hand fault by Regan Charles-Cook. The referee then awarded the penalty that Marius Mouandilmadji transformed (5th, 0-1).
The Chadian striker had not finished talking regarding him when, launched by Bernier, he put Jason Davidson in the wind before signing a double (36th, 0-2). After a small eupenoise spark from Isaac Nuhu quickly extinguished by his goalkeeper Guillaume Dietsch, Seraing took a serious option on the three points following Bernier’s first goal of the season (39th).
At rest, Storck hit hard by taking out four players at once (46th). This sweep will not have had an immediate effect even if the German speakers take the game in hand. Magnée saw Dietsch block one of his shots in two stages (51st) before blowing a wind of hope for his team (60th, 1-3). But the Pandas, who might not count on an effective Smail Prevljak, failed to consolidate their domination and therefore to come back to the score.
