Union Saint-Gilloise dismissed Genk at the end of stoppage time (2-1). The leader takes full advantage of FC Bruges’ faux pas to escape in the standings. Casper Nielsen opened the scoring midway through the first period. Paul Onuachu, out for a month, scored for his return. The final moments of the game were crazy. A USG goal was first canceled for offside. The final seconds allowed the Brussels residents to obtain a penalty, converted by Dante Vanzeir.
The Union has started its fortnight of truth by a somewhat unexpected success. Not so much in content as in execution. But this victory, the 17th already this season, will further boost the morale of the Unionists that nothing seems to be able to stop this season. Some will speak of luck (of the champion?). But this is not the only explanation. It is also the extremism of boys of Mazzu who was awarded. A few seconds after a goal was disallowed, we still had to go back to the “fight”. They did it and it paid off.
At kick-off, the Union knows that it has a shot to play. Casper Nielsen tipped a fairly balanced match until then with a nice distant send-off (27th). The USG holds firm but will tremble in the second half. mike treasure hits the post but it is above all the entrance to the game of Paul Onuachu which turns out to be decisive (67th). The Golden Shoe, absent since December 19, surprises Christian Burgess and gets a penalty. The colossus of Racing quietly transforms it and equalizes (77th).
