AA Gent and Union kept each other in balance. De Sart opened the score, and Puertas gave the people of Brussels a point. They were happy to see it happen at Anderlecht.
Hein Vanhaezebrouck was missing two strong players. Hong was not a good fit, and Brown dropped out in extreme cases. Gandelmann and Fofana were their replacements. The Union has already started with its projected 11th start. The pace was immediately high thanks to the buffalo. They incited the people of Brussels and put great pressure on them. Something the Union defense had difficulty with.
Fifteen minutes later, Tissodale put Burgess at bay, and then went one-on-one on goal. Playing his striker brother Kuipers was the right choice, but McAllister was there at the right time. Moments later, Machida simply gave the ball to Tisodali. He saw that Morris was far from his goal and kicked the ball over the goal in one go. The visitors got away well twice.
AA Gent convinced and were the better team in the first half. Where he couldn’t match Union’s intensity last season, the tables have now turned. Samoise headed over the goal, and Tissodale’s goal was disallowed for offside. On the other hand, the Federation was only able to threaten once. The detached Amora nodded loudly.
It looks like we’re on our way to a 0-0 halftime score. Until Machida came out and brought down Samoise in the penalty area: penalty kick. De Sart’s record was flawless: 1-0. A well-deserved lead for the Buffaloes.
Another photo of the game after the break. Al-Ittihad did their best in search of an equaliser. And I fell too. Puertas scored from a long shot into the short corner. Roofe was not in a good position and was surprised by the score at 1-1. The match could have gone either way. Kuipers collided with Mac Allister, Puertas kicked and Rodriguez couldn’t get past Roef.
With fifteen minutes remaining, referee D’Hondt blew the whistle for a foul on Tissoudali – had he been hit? No, according to VAR. After seeing the photos, Dehunt reversed his decision: No penalty. AA Gent managed to threaten again: Morris saved a shot from Coomes.
It remained at 1-1. Thus losing points for the first and third numbers in the world rankings. Anderlecht could soon do an excellent job against RWDM.
