Dominant Union dispatches Dender

After the derby win against Anderlecht, Union had to confirm its form at home against Dender. Sadiki and Ivanovic created big chances, but no goals followed. At the other end, VAR fortunately overturned a wrong decision by referee Bourdeaud’hui.
 

The 1-0 came from a free kick, with Rasmussen finding the net. A few minutes later, Ait El Hadj scored his first goal at the Dudenpark after great work from Ivanovic and Rasmussen (2-0).
 

After the break, Union kept up the momentum. Tobi David converted from the penalty spot to make it 3-0. Dender managed to pull one back with one of its few chances (3-1), but substitute Boufal then delivered a perfect assist for Fuseini at the far post for the 4-1.
