The Union won its first encounter with Antwerp against Heysel. In a disadvantaged and closed match, the home team won thanks to a wonderful header from Bart Neukop in the final stage. The return will take place on March 2.
Union – Antwerp in a nutshell:
Key moment: 5 minutes before the end, when even the most optimistic fans had given up hope, the goal fell anyway. Bart Neukop outdid the rest and headed home a 1-0 victory over Botez in a poor game.
man of the match: For not getting the top scorer, the Al Ittihad midfield – with Lazar and Teoma – gets fame. They were the building blocks and guys who tried something every now and then.
statistics: Win number 11 in 12 matches for the Union and the only team to beat Antwerp (2x) in the last three months. The premium series is becoming more and more a delicacy for statisticians.
Nieuwkoop raises his head
“The second leg will decide everything,” sounded the unanimous opinion of coaches Gerarts and Van Bommel before the match.
A good listener didn’t need another word to fast-forward to the 85th minute from now on. At that moment, Lapussine took out his brush, this time so as not to leave behind messy stains.
The left back has painted leather on Newcube’s head. The Dutchman outplayed Antwerp’s defense at the second post and in fact headed the winning goal against Botez.
Everyone is happy at Union, because he is going to Antwerp next month with an extra goal. The one thing both teams will remember after a poor showing.
Jansen: “They’re with 12? They let themselves in on goal”
Vincent Jansen (Antwerp): “We can’t live with losing, but we have to. Did Union play 12v11? No. Of course there are times when you’re disadvantaged. Referees don’t make mistakes on purpose either. There were some moments, but we gave up the goal ourselves” .
Geraerts: “Ref? Individual quality made a difference”
Karel Geraerts (Coaches Association): “It doesn’t matter what the score is tonight, the match will be decided in a month’s time. I’m happy about that, but we’ll have to put the reward deep in our pockets. I can’t add anything to Toby Alderweireld’s opinion. I thought it was the individual qualities that made the difference.”
The end, 22 hours 36. Al-Ittihad wins a disadvantaged battle: 1-0. In the second half, Union and Antwerp continued cooking with the same recipe: building in security. A goalless tie seemed inevitable, until Lapussin removed his brush. He found Nieuwkoop at the far post. The Dutchman outplayed the rest and headed the match’s only real chance against the ropes. .
