Afterwards there will be a lot to do about the penalty that AA Gent received that led to the opening goal. There was hardly any contact between Stef Peeters and Roman Bezus, one of Ghent’s stars. But Laforge put the ball on the stopper and in Tubize, video ref Van Driessche did not think it was a ‘clear error’ by his colleague. De Sart missed the eleven meter (one of the actually twenty goal attempts by AA Gent), Tissoudali was the fastest to score. It was a small miracle that Ghent didn’t quite get the victory at the break. Depoitre handled the odds so clumsily. Regularly useful as a point of reference, but lost the killer instinct for a while. Up to five times he crushed an imposed chance. Halfway through the second half he couldn’t miss anymore, a knockout after Tissoudali was close to his second of the evening.
You read it: Eupen was nowhere and failed to jump over Club Brugge and Union to the lead. For example, none other than Union Saint-Gilloise is the proud leader of the Jupiler Pro League after eleven match days. Club also has 22 points but has won one less match.
