Scene on Kehrweg: Hyeres bumps into Eupen to the top of the table
0:1, 1:1, 1:2, 2:2, 3:2 – The game between AS Eupen and KRC Genk was everything, but not boring. Meanwhile – especially after Amat’s red card – the clouds over Eupen darkened for a while. Instead of giving up, Open fought until the proverbial last moment. The strong performance of AS Eupen is rewarded not “only” with three points, but with the lead of the championship – the fairy tale of eastern Belgium continues. At least until the next match day when AS Eupen meets AA Gent (October 17, 9 p.m.).
AS Eupen 3: 2 KRC Genk
In front of Genk, Jobin, who had changed to just one position – started with Lambert suspended with Agbadou – was strong in the match: Nuhu was already ahead in the fourth and fifth minutes when he failed at Vandvoordt. The first goal, however, was scored not by the powerful Eupener, but by Genk – and that with the first chance: Thorstedt, who had lost sight of the AS defense, hit the ball from a short distance into a desperate Hemmelmann goal. (eleventh).
However, Eupen responded brilliantly: after only five minutes of 0: 1, Brevlyak scored the equalizer with a hand penalty. Via Nohu, who was undoubtedly one of the standout players, Yobin had more chances in an overall good first half. In the 38th minute, Amat hit the post from an offside position. Genk didn’t have any more convincing chances until the break. Eupen was allowed to believe the point was won, but he ran into pressure after the break. Seconds into the first half, Eto’o hit the post.
