The international break is coming to an end. Ligue 1 will resume its rights this weekend with in particular an ASSE – Montpellier. Lucas Stassin has joined the Belgian hopes with qualification for Euro 2025 in his sights. Defeated 2-0 in the first leg, the imps were condemned to an exploit in the Czech Republic. Summary of the return play-off between the Czechs and Belgium hopefuls.
Stassin and the Belgians up against the wall
He landed in Forez for a sum of around 10 million euros this summer. Lucas Stassin is still waiting for his first goal in Ligue 1 with ASSE. After three assists, Greens supporters are now expecting goals from the most expensive recruit in the club's history. The young striker was on deck during this international break. The mission of the young Belgians was to qualify for the Euro Espoirs. The red imps had to go through the play-offs to qualify.
During the first leg, Lucas Stassin started. The former Westerloo player was unable to avoid the Belgians' 2-0 defeat at home. The imps are condemned to an exploit and a great success to qualify for Euro 2025.
Summary of the meeting
Lucas Stassin begins the meeting with the imps. However, condemned to the feat, the mission promises to be almost impossible against the Czech Republic.
Belgium was scared from the start. Following a defensive error, Matej Jurasek landed a shot that he missed. Enterprising, the Stéphanois striker, however, did not manage to find many balls in the first period.
Returning from the locker room, Lucas Stassin is a few centimeters away from distributing a decisive pass. Launched on the right side, the 19-year-old sent a caviar to Kazeem Olaigbe, too close to convert. Jarne Steuckers allows the Belgians to take the advantage with a dry strike outside the area (79).
The imps had to register two additional achievements to qualify. But Van Den Bosch concedes an own goal from a corner (79'). The Czech Republic definitely takes the lead (1-1, 3-1 cumulative), while Lucas Stassin was replaced in the 82'.
End of the adventure for Belgium's hopefuls.
