After the great run against the top clubs, Union actually had a collective offday against STVV. Only goalkeeper Moris performed at a high level, he ensured that Union could rest without a goal with an excellent parade.
Especially on the offensive level, the competition leader did not give up today. The otherwise goal-oriented strikers Undav and Vanzeir bit their teeth on STVV’s block, but Teuma and Nielsen’s guns were also silent in the second line.
STVV started to believe in his chances more and more and pushed on after the break. The reward soon followed: Klauss decorated a penalty, Brüls popped it into the top corner with great conviction.
Even after the 0-1, Union couldn’t get the engine to start. Moris again had to unpack with a famous save to keep the home team in the match.
In the final minutes, Union seemed to be able to save a point after a penalty error on Lapoussin, but Vanzeir underlined his pale performance with a weak penalty. 0-1, not a man overboard yet Union, but still a tick that can arrive.
