Yesterday evening was painful for Mechelen. KV hoped to get back into the race for Europe, but lost at home to Ghent. Before the match, a bizarre incident occurred at the AFAS stadium.
KV starts with a bang but makes a defensive error
The chances of seeing the Sang et Or achieve final victory in these European Play-Offs were slim in any case. Hasi and his teammates had to achieve a perfect run, while Ghent had to lose twice after the confrontation at the AFAS stadium.
The home team started well, took the lead twice, but ultimately proved inferior to Ghent, who won the final victory with a score of 2-4.
Three matches without stakes await Hasi and his men, as for all the other teams in this competition. Ghent must now remain focused for a few more weeks before the final duel for a European ticket.
An extremely bizarre incident
The AFAS stadium was briefly rocked by an explosion before kick-off. Emergency services rushed to the scene, but it ended up being a bizarre incident at a food stall, at a time when no fans were yet in the stadium.
“The seller had put a vacuum-packed package of meat in the oven without first piercing it. This had to be done because that is how the package of meat exploded. The person was slightly injured and transported by ambulance to the hospital for more in-depth care. This is what police spokesperson Elke Wauters told HLN.
