Two wins for U23 teams in the Challenger Pro League on Friday. Jong Genk beat KAS Eupen 2-0 while Club NXT triumphed against Seraing, where the score was 1-0.
There was a cellar cracker on the program on Friday evening in the Challenger Pro League, between Club NXT, penultimate, and RFC Seraing, which was third last at kick-off. The match offered little spectacle.
In the end, Club NXT won the match thanks to the only goal of the match, scored by 16-year-old Slovenian Tian Nai Koren. He made the difference about 20 minutes before the end of the match.
Seraing sees Club NXT approaching one point in the rankings. After last weekend’s surprising victory against KV Kortrijk, it could be a turning point for Club Brugge’s U23.
