Dainsey has made no secret of his ambitions in the run-up to the new season in the Challenger League. Last year’s third-place finish is aimed at securing the title and promotion this season. Contrary to Anderlecht’s promises, he has been allowed to try to overcome the first hurdle in the quest for the title.
RSCA coach Gilly Quinn entered the future with a very young squad. Among them was Jayden Onya Siki, a winger aged just 15 years, 3 months and 8 days. With his place in the starting line-up, he became the youngest professional player ever to make his debut in Belgian football.
Onya Siki saw from the front row how Anderlecht completely botched their start. After just five minutes, Deinze took the lead through De Schryver. What followed was a siege of the Brussels goal.
This dominance also led to Deinze’s goals, courtesy of new signing Tuur Dierckx. First, the signature lofted shot cut inside and finished neatly into the near post. Not long after, he made it 0-3 with a header.
Anderlecht were on the line and Deinze was able to control the rest of the match. The Futures team managed to pull back in the end through Sylla, but the last word was for Deinze, who made it 1-4 through Fadaouch. A dream start for the Black Orange.
Meanwhile, Sering and Jong Genk also started their season. The youngsters of Limburg emerged victorious from that battle. After 27 minutes, captain Nolan Martins opened the discussions, and shortly before the end (82), substitute Robin Merisola completely turned off the lights at the Stade de Pirae with the score 0-2.
