Union ended the match with ten, after goalkeeper Anthony Moris, who had gone far out, incorrectly blocked Ferran Jutgla, who had broken through, deep in injury time. Union could no longer make substitutions and field player Cameron Puertas put on the goalkeeper’s jersey, but the ultimate free kick from just outside the sixteen did not bring anything to the people of Bruges.
