Union Saint-Gilloise managed well following the European Cup and tamed Mechelen thanks to Amoura’s 12th goal of the season shortly following half-time.
After knocking out Liverpool in the European Cup on Thursday, the Union must continue once morest Mechelen in the league this Sunday.
And it takes a little time for the Union to pick up the pace. The first real opportunity comes in the 31st. The untenable Amoura tries his chance to enter the rectangle, but his low shot at the near post is repelled by Coucke.
The Union pushes at the end of the first period and creates two opportunities in quick succession but Coucke is once once more in the right place to stop the strike from Doors at the far post (40th) and the head of Lazarus slightly deviated (42nd).
The men of Blessin return to the pitch with the same intentions and danger hovers over the Malinois rectangle. In the 54th minute, Amoura finally found the fault. On a long shot from Lapoussin repelled by Coucke, Amoura follows well and pushes the ball deep into the header.
The Union dominates but must be careful of overconfidence. Acorn comes out poorly and Walsh tries the lob on You die but the Luxembourger is attentive (73rd).
Moris had to intervene on another strike from Walsh in the 83rd and a minute later Tehro replaced his goalkeeper on the line with a shot fromAntonio. Schoofs then tries his luck from afar but his delivery just misses (89th).
However, the score will no longer change and the Union validates its 14th success in the championship. The people of Brussels retain the lead in the Pro League with 44 points. Mechelen is 11th with 19 units.
