Sint-Truiden won 1-2 at Westerlo. Enough to come back to a small point from his opponent of the day.
After a rather frustrating end to the calendar year, Sint-Truiden was already returning to 2025 with a crucial match on the program. Westerlo is in fact the first team outside the red zone. Between seeing the Campinois take a seven-point lead or come back to one unit, the result risked being worth its weight in gold.
Andres Ferrari therefore chose his moment to pull out all the stops. While the 22 players were just warming up, the Uruguayan striker surprised everyone by trying his luck from midfield. Seeing Koen Van Langendock advanced, he did not hesitate to attempt the lob, with a perfectly controlled gesture for the 0-1 after six minutes.
An ideal scenario for the Trudonnaires, who could afford to defend their advantage, taking fewer risks than in recent months. Although Westerlo had secured possession of the leather, the premises were not dangerous.

But while we were heading towards this score of 0-1 at rest, an error from Leo Kokubo completely revived the Campinois (1-1). The match seemed to have turned around: from the start of the second half, Timmy Simons’ men were more pressing around the opposing rectangle.
Under pressure, Saint-Trond struck again when the Kuipje did not expect it: at the height of Campinois domination, Louis Patris tried twice to cross and find Ryotaro Ito in the rectangle (1-2). The relief was total, because this time, Felice Mazzu’s troops held their lead until the end.
The Canaries taste victory again, regain ground on a direct competitor and salute the first minutes of Dider Lamkel Ze (who has already received a big hug from Felice Mazzu).
