He once again lacked this offensive efficiency that the Union has been running behind since the start of the season. The people of Brussels could have scored at least two goals against Rome but console themselves by saying that they have managed to score at least one goal in their last three outings. “We are still growing, said Noah Sadiki. It is in the decisive moments that we see whether a team has reached a milestone or not. We feel that everyone is regaining confidence offensively. Even if we still miss opportunities, we are all here to support each other.”
The Union now have four European matches remaining to try to secure qualification for the next round. Even if it’s off to a bad start, everything is still possible with an upcoming away match in Twente. “There isn’t really a team that has dominated us in Europe, commented Charles Vanhoutte. I think we shouldn’t underestimate ourselves either. We played with three attackers showing that we had balls (sic). The first four matches were decided on details, everything is still possible. If we manage to win two matches, qualification is more than likely.”
