Powerless against the supremacy of Union Saint-Gilloise, Antwerp had to resign themselves to the 0-2 defeat against Brussels on Saturday evening in the clash at the top of the Pro League. Impressively comfortable, the Union (60 points) established its domination of the championship by pushing the Antwerpers to ten lengths (50 points). Committed against La Gantoise on Sunday, Club Brugge (3rd, 48 points) can at best get closer to 9 points from the imperturbable leader.
At Bosuil, the team of Felice Mazzu has completed its superb tour de force by successfully completing a tough schedule in recent weeks. By signing a 10 out of 12 after their duels against Genk, Bruges, Anderlecht and Antwerp, the Unionists can no longer hide.
Saturday evening, the people of Brussels immediately announced the color by forcing Dessoleil to a miraculous rescue and then hitting the post via Deniz Undav within seconds (13th). Our league leader continued to get the best opportunities in this game and ended up scoring in the 50th minute via the inevitable Undav.
The top scorer in our championship returned the cover in the 77th minute following a superb job by Dante Vanzeir to plant a 20th Pro League goal this season. At the same time, he buried Antwerp’s hopes while narrowly missing the 0-3 goal with a shot on the post (91st).
Voluntary, Antwerp will have tried to destabilize the Union during this meeting… without really succeeding. Michel-Ange Balikwisha nevertheless had the opportunity to restart the game at the end of the foot (81st) but was stopped by a superb save fromAnthony Moris.
