Jupiler Pro League
Ghent took a big step towards the final victory in the European qualifiers. Beat KV Mechelen after a late goal from Joseph Okumu. If Ghent wins the European playoff, there will be no more duel with the fourth of the Champions Qualifiers.
AA Gent – KV Mechelen in a nutshell:
- Key moment: Before the hour went by, Hermanns had the best chance of the match to give KV Mechelen the lead, but shook the ball into the hand of goalkeeper Roef.
- man of the match: Few of the real stars today. AA Gent defender Joseph Okumo crowned himself the match winner with a clean sheet and a goal.
- noticeable: KV Mechelen still struggles with the Ghent soil. Malinwa’s last victory in Ghent dates back to 2012, and since then AA Gent has won 8 times at home, and drawn 3 times.
- statistics: The main pain point at KV Mechelen this season has been the outdoors. Defeat 11 on the go is too much to compete for prizes.
Okumo decides the match with a late header
For KV Mechelen, this match was the last chance to get a European ticket. The visitors eagerly started the match. In the fifteen minutes, Al-Mourabiti kicked 0-1 against the ropes, but the party was canceled due to a previous violation by Souza.
Then AA Gent rebalanced, putting Kums Coucke to work with a famous snowmobile. Almoravid remained the most dangerous man among the visitors, but his effort was not rewarded: 0-0 halfway.
After the break, the game moved back and forth, but the number of opportunities remained limited. Kuipers and especially Hermanns missed KV Mechelen, on the other side Coucke tapped flames from Tissoudali over the bar.
The score was 0-0, until Combs drew a corner on Okumo’s head. The Kenyan deposited the ball accurately into the far corner and put AA Gent on his way to a second win in these European matches. KV Mechelen is not yet an athlete in European football.
Schoofs: “Our Season Summary”
Rob Choffs (KV Mechelen): “We are of course very disappointed. We should have scored here to keep fighting for the win in the playoffs, but we didn’t. However, just like last week, the match could also have been in our favor.”
“We always try to play football. And it worked out well now. We had chances, but they didn’t go in. We also scored a great goal, but it was rejected. Then we conceded a goal at the end. . That sums up our season a little bit: we’re playing a good season, but It’s not enough to play with adults.”
