Union beaten in Mechelen

The first chance went in Mechelen's favor, and Moris had to shine to stop Schoofs' chance. At the other end, Union also responded with half-chances and a good shot from Rasmussen, which went just wide.

Mechelen opened the score after a good attack led by Lauberbach, Schoofs and finally Mrabti. 1-0.

Just before half-time, Union came close to scoring with Puertas seeing his shot hit the crossbar.

At the start of the second half, Union looked much better. Puertas continued to threaten with a shot which, unfortunately, went wide. Union had found a way to contain Mechelen and were looking for ways to equalize. But when Kevin Mac Allister was sidelined for two minutes while waiting for a new shirt (his shirt was covered in bloodstains) and Mechelen took their chance. Storm found Hairemans who scored the second goal of the evening.

Then Belghali made it 3-0. Union continued to suffer until the end and Bates even made it 4-0 with a header from a corner kick.
