Union has suffered an inexplicable slump in recent weeks. After ending the regular season as the authoritarian leader and with an unbeaten run of 24 games, it suddenly recorded a zero out of twelve in the play-offs. As a result, an all-or-nothing match awaited them against Antwerp on Thursday evening.
After all, another loss of points seemed to mean the end of the title dream, but Union grabbed its last straw. In the end, it even won big with 0-3 and thus continues in the wake of Anderlecht and Club Brugge. The people of Brussels are still only three points behind the top position.
Puertas guides Union to an important victory
They can be very grateful to Cameron Puertas for this, because the playmaker almost single-handedly guided his team to victory over De Bosuil. The Spanish Swiss scored twice and provided the assist for Amoura’s goal. With this he added to his impressive statistics: nine goals and seventeen assists in the Jupiler Pro League this season.
“Scoring twice, providing an assist and being decisive again: that is of course nice. But I especially remember the victory that we have waited so long for and which ensures that we keep our fate in our own hands,” Puertas emphasized. Sudpresse.
Union has its fate in its own hands
“We absolutely had to get back to three points, no matter how,” he realised. “And we did that well. If that was still necessary, we have proven that we cannot be written off yet. We are not dead, no! The strength of Union is the collective and today we were efficient in both boxes. “
With the victory, Union indeed keeps its fate in its own hands. If it were to win its last five games, it would always be champion. In the worst case, it would end up on equal points with Anderlecht, but then Union has an advantage because it finished higher in the regular competition.
