The Union won 1-4 on the lawn of the OHL this Friday evening. A victory that allows the Unionists to retain the lead in the Pro League. A meeting that the yellows and blues had started badly but which were able to recover, to the delight of Felice Mazzu : “C‘is good. We had a full match after the first quarter of an hour. We had a little trouble getting into the game. Again we offer them a goal on this penalty but the players gave their all and I think this victory, especially in our second half, is deserved“.
As often in recent weeks, the unionist coach showed his pride in his players: “The players gave their all, they put energy, ambition. We still missed opportunities but what we did was magnificent and it allows us to continue dreaming“.
If the score seems heavy, the difference between the two teams was not that big: “I think the OHL started their game well. We managed to take over psychologically after the second goal, so I think that’s what made the difference“.
Three goals the previous day, four this Friday, the absence of Dante Vanzeir doesn’t seem to be felt that much. But Felice Mazzu still recalls the importance of his goalscorer: “I need everyone. Today, we showed that for the moment the group is healthy and that when there are absentees, the others respond present. But a coach always needs everyone in his group“.
While there are still three classic phase matches to be played, Union are still at the top of the Pro League and could further increase their advantage over their pursuers. “Three more games to try to finish first, that’s the most important thing“Felice Mazzu tempered, however.
And the Union’s next match will be against Ostend at home next Friday.
