On a Belgian scale, facing Tolu Arokodare is a test. Ordonez has already come up against the Nigerian giant twice this season. Their third clash first began with a smile at the attacker. Who won a first duel with his back to goal on the halfway line against his bodyguard then a second in the area to take this silky cross from Steuckers (28th). His 15th goal of the season, the 5th on a left-handed serve.
Double fault conceded and admitted, fully forgiven. Ordonez didn’t think for very long. Only six minutes. Time to digest, react and redeem yourself by regaining your head and on the head of Heynen posterized like a Sunday basketball player by the defender’s relaxation. Who could also count on the precious little screen of De Cuyper on Penders who could have been more respected in his exit (34th).
After his second goal of the season, the defender then became master of his subject again. Like his team which, inexorably, did not give the impression of forcing to end up winning. Signing in the process its 10th success in a row at home and a 17th match without defeat…

Ordonez was able to see that displaying his naivety as Sadick did by being trapped by Jugtlà, who obtained a penalty converted by Tzolis after intervention by the VAR, was really not a good idea (74th). And if Arokodare upset him a little, Oh embodied another type of threat that he handled well. Enough to bring him closer to his first Belgian Cup final. Which will probably be his last too.
