Tobe Leysen made some good saves against the Union. But his mistake at the start of the match ultimately weighs heavily.
For a little over a year, Tobe Leysen has established himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the elite. Trained in Genk, he embodies, alongside Koen Casteels, Thibaut Courtois, Nordin Jackers, Gaëtan Coucke, Sinan Bolat and Maarten Vandevoordt, the school of Racing goalkeepers led by Guy Martens.
But against the Union, he lacked discernment in this famous phase after ten minutes. Despite the pressure of Promise Davidthe last stronghold from Leuven took the time to control the ball and was taken over by the Canadian attacker. He then hung the latter. The penalty conceded led to the only goal of the match.
The turning point of the match
“Maybe I took it too lightly. Promise David got to me quicker than I thought. I didn’t hit him very hard, I didn’t think VAR intervention was necessary to decide on a penalty But ok, I accept” he reacted to the Sporza microphone.
-He then redeemed himself with several high-class one-on-one saves from the Union attackers in the second half. But the damage was done.
With the various results of the weekend, Louvain is the first team outside the red zone: “We are tired of hearing every week that we are playing well and that we deserve better. But it often goes wrong. I hope that It won’t continue like this for too long.”
