Hectic scenario at Gaverbeek, where Zulte Waregem reversed a very bad situation and beat AS Eupen. It is the RWDM, winner, and the RAAL which plays tomorrow, which must be angry…
The RWDM certainly hoped to have moved nicely closer to the leader this Saturday with their victory (1-0) against Jong Genk. Indeed, after a good half hour of play, AS Eupen led by two goals, via goals from Gedikli and Caliskan.
But just before the break, an incident in the game will change everything: the expulsion… of Emheran Gedikli, the first scorer of the evening. From then on, unsurprisingly, the leader will put pressure on the Pandas, and come back into the match in the second half.
However, it would be necessary to wait until the 68th minute for Stavros Gavriel to put Essevee back on track (1-2), before Matheus Machado equalized a few minutes later (71st, 2-2). We feel that the scenario has completely changed when, in the 72nd minute, in the wake of this equalizer, Eupen sees Pattynama take his second yellow.
-At 9 against 11, facing a leader who is definitely very difficult to annoy this season, AS Eupen has nothing to hope for: Matheus Machado will make it 3-2 in the 81st minute, and Zulte Waregem takes three points which will make good and have all the makings of a champion victory.
The leader therefore remains 7 points ahead of the RWDM, and calmly waits to see what the RAAL will do when they travel to Club NXT this Sunday. The pressure is on the pursuers…
