Mechelen pulls a point on the lawn of Eupen | Belgian football

Eupen was very effective at the start of the match. Indeed, Julien Ngoy opened the scoring on the first and only shot on target of the Pandas in the first act. The 23-year-old striker picked up speed Jordi Vanlerberghe before rolling a strike at the far post, unstoppable for Gaëtan Coucke (1-0, 20th). For its part, the Malinwa has not experienced the same effectiveness. Stirring, Nikola Storm notably fished at the finish.

Upon returning from the locker room, Wouter Vrancken’s troops continued to dominate territorially but Sandy Walsh (50th) and Kerim Mrabti (59th) found Théo Defourny on their way. Eupen, proceeding on the counter-attack, missed the opportunity to kill the match on overused opportunities from Ngoy and Amara Baby, mounted in the game.
The German-speaking goalkeeper finally had to admit defeat in stoppage time. At the end of a confused phase in the rectangle, Rob Schoofs gave the point of division to his (1-1, 90th + 2).

In the standings, Eupen is 11th with 17 points thanks to a fourth game in a row without defeat. The Malinois point them in 15th place (13 pts).
