The reception of Waasland-Beveren this Saturday should allow RWDM to best prepare for its double confrontation against Seraing on April 23 and 30. The opportunity also for the people of Molenbeek to show that they were stronger than their competitor in the race for this second place.
Despite the suspensions of Le Joncour and Ruyssen in the center of defense, as well as Rommens in midfield, the RWDM dominated the debates. Hazard shook the side net before De Camargo missed his one-on-one with the opposing goalkeeper when he had time to adjust. Opposite, Maderner missed the inevitable and Defourny had to intervene in front of Ribeiro Costa.
And then the Hazard show started. On a cross from Nangis, Kylian’s volley ended up in the back, for his first goal since arriving in Molenbeek. Hazard that we found in the second half. On a dazzling counter, he punctuated a race of almost 60 meters with a powerful strike in the skylight (2-0).
