Mofokeng seals the win against ten men
According to live reporting by VRT NWS (Sporza), Mofokeng confirmed the result by heading home the final goal to make it 4-2. Cercle Brugge had to finish the match with ten men following a red card, unable to stop Union from taking all three points.
“Boeken toe! Mofokeng kopt 4-2 prinsheerlijk in doel, Union heeft schaapjes op het droge tegen 10 Cercle-spelers”, noted Sporza as the match concluded.
Pressure mounts at the bottom of the table
Union approached the clash with renewed momentum after a 4-0 European victory against Beer Sheva, which came after a 1-1 draw against Oud-Heverlee Leuven. Cercle Brugge, entering the weekend in last place, leaves Brussels empty-handed and must quickly find solutions to escape the relegation zone.
