STVV Beats Westerlo: Union SG Title Race Continues

This Friday evening, STVV opened the 24th day of the Jupiler Pro League with a trip to Campine to challenge Westerlo.

The duel between Issame Charaï and Wouter Vrancken, two relatively young Belgian coaches, turned in favor of the second city. Traveling to Kuipje, STVV made short work of Westerlo. After leading 0-3 at halftime, Goto made the score worse late in the match to make the final score 0-4.

Yamamoto completely forgotten during a corner and only had to push the ball into the back of the net to open the scoring (10th). Westerlo looked to equalize, but found themselves trailing by two goals. Once again, the Campinois shot themselves in the foot from a corner. This time, it was Sissako who shook the Jungdal nets (31st).

To top it off, the Danish goalkeeper also made a mistake. As halftime approached, he sent the ball directly to the feet of Goto, who served Yamamoto for the 0-3 (42nd).

After the break, STVV managed its comfortable lead and was not threatened at any time. Ourega received a second yellow card fifteen minutes from time. STVV immediately took advantage of its numerical superiority: Goto brought the score to 0-4 (82nd).

Thanks to this victory, the Canaries move to within one point of the leader, the Union, which hosts the RAAL on Sunday. Westerlo has its work cut out for it with three big matches against Antwerp, Charleroi and Union.
