Union Saint-Gilloise lost their first points of the season in the league. Alexander Blessin’s men lost 4-0 in Mechelen.
For its dress rehearsal before the Europa League play-off once morest Lugano, theUnion Saint-Gilloise conceded its first defeat of the season behind the Mechelen barracks. The start of the match is very animated, with chances from the sides, Anthony Moris must in particular work to save his own on a strike from Rob Schoofs from the eighth minute.
Jostled, the Union finally conceded the opener in the 38th minute on a magnificent shot from the right foot of Karim Mrabti. Five minutes later, Mechelen thinks of making the break but Lion Lauerbach is signaled offside. At the very end of the half, the match might also have gone the other way, but Puertas saw his shot crash on the batten.
Fewer chances in the second half but a lesson in Mechelen efficiency. On two reconversions, the locals bring the score to 3-0 via Geoffry Hairemans and Rafik Belghali. Before David Bates scored the 4-0 from dead play in stoppage time. After the victories once morest Anderlecht and Standard, followed by the 5-1 once morest Leuven, it was a first setback for the Unionists. On the other hand, on the Malinois side, the first victory of the season will do Steven Defour’s men a lot of good.
