The association did not occur in the play for a while, but recovered a little later, with possibilities for Oluwaeun Adewumi and Steve Ngoura, among others. In the end, the visitors continued to insist. Ten minutes before the end, Mory Konaté brought save for the Malinois by working away in a corner just in front of the visiting attackers. Miras also loved the 0-1 with a nice rescue. The home team still screamed in the lock for a penalty for hands, but both ref Verbeke and the VAR rightly waved the apple away.
KV Mechelen (13 PTN) is third together with Club Brugge, but leaves after STVV (14 PTN) to jump to place two. Cercle (9 ptn) is thirteenth and thus lingers in the danger zone.
