The triple substitution means a change of system for Antwerp, which will play with three at the back. Alderwiereld will join the fight at the front

What a wonderful attack by Union over several stations starting from the right. Lammens first parries with his fists, then Nilsson shoots the young goalkeeper’s cage and, to everyone’s surprise, the ball goes wide
68
Yellow card for Mandela Keita66
Van Den Bosch is not surprised by Amoura and simply puts him aside after a dribble in the box
64
Antwerp still has some time left, but before that they really have to be able to threaten Moris. For the time being, the reigning national champions are still too weak offensively
62
Ondrejka wants to put a shot into the far corner, Moris has no problems
61
Lammens is now able to save a shot from Puertas
59
It now seems a bit over and out for Antwerp
55
Finally Amoura who is important in these play offs. He escapes from the back of Alderweireld and is guided through by Puertas. He almost reaches the small rectangle to outwit Lammens from close range
54
Eliot Matazo Jacob Ondrejka 53
Balikwisha is allowed to kick a corner but it yields nothing
50
We hope that the goal has given the match some oxygen and that we will have more goal scoring chances
47
It becomes clear once again that Puertas’ free kicks are an incredible weapon! The angle is extremely sharp, especially for a right-footed player, but Lammens is surprised at his near post and can only push the ball further into the goal
47
Alderweireld eagerly brings Amoura down on the side of the 16 and also receives a yellow card
46
Yellow card for Toby Alderweireld46

What do you think of the match? Let me know in the comments.
45
Nilsson tries acrobatically on a cross but does not hit the ball. Teklab can head but is too surprised by Nilsson’s non-touch to finish well
42
Lammens corrects his own mistakeRasmussen goes for the rebound after a cleared cross. Lammens can only reach it with a limp hand, but he straightens out just in time because Nilsson was ready to punish the mistake
38
Oh Ekkelenkamp, there was much more to this! Antwerp plays football quite easily under the pressure of Union and is away with only one Union defender in between. However, Ekkelenkamp taps the ball in too much, causing him to lose his footing
36
Teklab misses a high ball, Burgess intervenes before Ekkelenkamp can dive into the box
35
At Union they clearly do not shy away from duels. Rasmussen wants to play the ball but comes too late and slides too hard at Matazo
35
Yellow card for Mathias Rasmussen34
Nilsson heads a long ball through to Amoura, who in turn passes Nilsson again. With Alderweireld as a wall in front of him, Nilsson is unable to get a shot
33
Even the Antwerp crowd is starting to grumble… Lammens keeps the ball at his feet a little longer because he doesn’t know where to play it
31
Keita and Matazo show their class as footballing defensive midfielders and dribble freely in the short space. In their own half, of course
26
Between all the throw-ins, Union still moves up. Ultimately it results in a corner that is boxed away by Lammens
24
Puertas and Amoura try with a rehearsed short corner, but Amoura’s bounce is of a terrible level
22
The first quarter of this match is behind us. Union was the best team in the opening phase without creating opportunities. Antwerp then mainly came past Ejuke, but they were also unable to threaten the opposing goalkeeper
19
The home team gets into the game better. Ejuke scores a free kick after a strong charge from Mac Allister
18
Yellow card for Kevin Mac Allister17
Ejuke reaches the back line, the cross is blocked. Antwerp gets a corner but this is also quickly headed away
15
Yellow card for Mohamed Amoura14
Alderweireld heads away a corner and the crowd supports a possible counter-attack, but the home team quickly loses possession
12
The block at Union is well positioned. Antwerp is having a hard time. Ejuke just tried to accelerate but Puertas stopped him incorrectly
8
The first corner of the game goes to Union, which has gotten off to the best start
7
Amoura is believed with a clever through ball through the heart of the Antwerp defense, but Lammens comes out alert and takes the ball before the Algerian can finish.
3
Nilsson makes a good pass to Puertas, but the angle is sharp. Moreover, Matazo slides in just in time to block the shot
1
A first cross from the left flank bounces past Lammens’ goal over the back line
