Club Brugge gives up a double lead

Due to the division of points, Blauw-Zwart and USG do not give each other an inch in the general classification of the Belgian first division. They take third and fourth place respectively with 29 points each. The game couldn’t have started worse for Union. After barely half a minute, Andreas Skov Olsen shot Anthony Moris with a cannonball into the roof of the goal.

In the 15 minutes things went from bad to worse when referee Kevin Van Damme was called to the VAR screen after a draw error by Simon Adingra on the broken Tajon Buchanan: red for Adingra and penalty for Club was the verdict. Hans Vanaken then sent Moris the wrong way.

However, the inhabitants of Brussels did not allow themselves to be led to the slaughter and forced the connecting goal via Christian Burgess with a header on the corner. In an underprivileged second half, there initially seemed to be no more goals, until Bart Nieuwkoop beat Simon Mignolet with a cross-corner whim and thus dragged an unexpected point out of the fire.
