Ghent has taken a big step towards final victory in the Europe Play-offs. It won against KV Mechelen after a late goal by Joseph Okumu. If Ghent wins the Europe Play-offs, there will be no more duel with the 4th from the Champions’ Play-offs.

AA Gent – KV Mechelen in a nutshell:

  • Key moment: Just before the hour, Hairemans got the best chance of the game to give KV Mechelen the lead, but he nodded the ball in the hands of goalkeeper Roef.
  • Man of the match: Few real stars today. AA Gent defender Joseph Okumu crowned himself the match winner with a clean sheet and a goal.
  • Remarkable: KV Mechelen continues to have a hard time on Ghent soil. The last victory of Malinwa in Ghent dates back to 2012, AA Gent has since won 8 times at home, 3 times there was a draw.
  • Statistics: The major pain point at KV Mechelen this season was outdoors. Eleven defeats on the move is too much to compete for the prizes.

Okumu decides game with late header goal

For KV Mechelen it was the match of the last chance for a European ticket. The visitors started the game eagerly. On the fifteen minutes Mrabti kicked the 0-1 against the ropes, but the party was canceled due to a prior violation by Souza.

Then AA Gent restored the balance, Kums put Coucke to work with a famous icicle. Mrabti remained the most dangerous man among the visitors, but his effort was not rewarded: 0-0 halfway.

After the break, the game waved back and forth, but the number of opportunities remained limited. Cuypers and especially Hairemans missed for KV Mechelen, on the other side Coucke tapped a flame from Tissoudali over the bar.

A 0-0 seemed in the making, until Kums painted a corner on Okumu’s head. The Kenyan neatly deposited the ball in the farthest corner and put AA Gent on its way to a second victory in these Europe play-offs. KV Mechelen is only mathematically not yet counted out for European football.

Schoofs: “Summary of our season”

Rob Schoofs (KV Mechelen): “We are of course very disappointed. We should have achieved a result here to continue to fight for a win in the play-offs, but we did not succeed. However, just like last week, the game could also have turned out in our favor. “

“We always try to play football. And that has worked out very well now. We have had chances, but they are not going in. We also scored a nice goal, but it is rejected. And then we concede a goal at the end. That sums up our season a bit: we are playing a good season, but just not enough to play with the big boys.”
