RWDM and Beveren battle until the final day: Mbokani saves pursuers in Lierse | Challenger Pro League 2022/2023

We get the climax almost everyone was hoping for. RWDM and Beveren fight for the title (and promotion) in the second division until the final match day. Dieumerci Mbokani swept the pursuers past Lierse in a great duel.

  • 24′ De Schryver 1-0
  • 28′ Barry 1-1
  • 32′ Conversion 1-2
  • 68′ De Schryver 2-2
  • 72′ Costa 2-3

Straight to the heart of the matter: leader RWDM will start next Saturday (at 8.45 pm) with just one point ahead of Beveren in the all-deciding final day.

The people from Brussels are favorites anyway, because just like their competitor, they play against a team of promises that have nothing to gain (or lose).

RWDM receives the RSCA Futures, Beveren receives Club NXT and must hope for the leader to lose points anyway.

Almost anticlimactic in Lierse

At Beveren they will undoubtedly breathe a sigh of relief that they are still entitled to promotion.

A visit to Lierse threatened to go wrong for a long time for the East Flemish club. First, the home team took the lead through De Schryver, but thanks to good old Dieumerci Mbokani – 37 meanwhile – turned the situation around relatively quickly.

First, the former Golden Shoe turned out with a brilliant heel that led to Barry’s equalizer, then Mbokani himself headed the 1-2 against the ropes. Although, according to our eyewitness in the stadium, the striker made “a big mistake”.

Twenty minutes before the end, De Schryver equalized the score again. Substitute Costa eventually crowned himself as the saving angel by making it 2-3 with an angle shot.

  1. second half, minute 94 match over
  2. second half, minute 63. RWDM virtual champion again. There’s the 2-2! In minute 68, RWDM is again virtual champion (and therefore certain of promotion). It is again De Schryver who punishes weak defending of Beveren. .
  3. second half, minute 61. Does Beveren give away the lead? Still half an hour to go in a poor second half for now. Will Beveren regain his lead against Lierse? Those who want an exciting final day should hope not. .
  4. second half, minute 46 match started
  5. halftime, 16h48. Barry drops 1-3 just before halftime. Beveren enters the dressing room with 1-2. Although the lead should have been doubled. Again Mbokani towered above everything and everyone at a corner, De Smet turned the attempt, but also pushed the ball right in front of Barry. The striker manages to aim from 30 centimeters next to an empty goal. Mbokani could still laugh about it. .
  6. first half, minute 47 match over
  7. first half, minute 1 match started
  8. in advance, 5:34 pm. Costa saving angel for Beveren. Beveren creeps up again. This time substitute Costa scores the 2-3 with a nice wide shot. .
  9. in advance, 5:33 pm. Beveren escapes after a header on the crossbar. This is a wonderful viewing piece in anticipation of the top match between Antwerp and Genk. Lierse almost scored the 3-3, but Naessens saw a header die on the crossbar. .
  10. before, 17h29. Costa scores crucial 2-3. Straight again Beveren’s back. A few minutes after the equalizer it is 2-3 again. Now Costa is the saving grace with a nice crossed shot. .
  11. in advance, 4:32 PM. Mbokani with the 1-2. 37 years old but not worn out in the least. After his great inspiration at the 1-1, Mbokani now puts Beveren ahead. With a corner kick, the Congolese hits mercilessly. .
  12. in advance, 16 hours 29. 1-1 after half an hour. It remains exciting in the crucial confrontation between Lierse and Beveren. After half an hour the score is 1-1. The home team seemed to crush all the title hopes of the visitors with the opening goal, but a few minutes later it was already equal. Mbokani was behind Barry’s goal with a great action. .
