Derby victory at Lotto Park
Union wins in Anderlecht thanks to goals from Khalaili (his first) and Niang. An important three points that secure a spot in Play-off I.
The opening phase of the derby was hard to watch. The level of play was disappointing at times, and Anderlecht was the first to threaten. Moris pulled off a fine save.
That woke the Unionistes up. David forced Coosemans into a save after a setup by Boufal, and a minute later, Rasmussen played Niang through beautifully. With space to work with, he found his fellow winger Khalaili via David for the 0-1!
The second half didn’t bring much improvement in play, but Union was the better side. Ivanovic’s goal was disallowed for offside, and after a save from Moris, Union stormed forward. Niang made it 0-2 after an assist from David.
Union secures its place in Play-off I.
