Challenger Pro League
In the Challenger Pro League, Lommel can look up a bit more after a 3-1 win against Virton. The visitors took the lead, but gradually lost control of the match.
A 7th place in the standings, parent club Manchester City will undoubtedly not have been satisfied with that. In addition, Lommel has conceded plenty of goals in recent weeks: 10 in 3 matches.
Initially, there seemed to be no improvement, as Yann Mabella gave Virton the lead.
With Attah Kadiri’s equalizing goal long on the board, it looked as if the kings of the draw – Virton draws 60% of his matches – would strike again.
But first the young Belgian Algerian Rafik Belghali and in the final phase the Spaniard Eric Monjonell thought differently: 3-1.
Because of those 3 extra points, Lommel (for the time being) closes the gap with the top 6, which lies on a handkerchief from each other. Virton sees Deinze jumping over him and only leaves Jong Genk behind in the standings.
