The debates are also lively and quite open at the start of the match and the latecomers will blame themselves for having missed big opportunities on each side since Thirot for the visitors then Pohl and Berisha for the Jodoignois could have already quickly lost the mark . The intensity does not weaken and we feel the two teams driven by good intentions. Berisha is very restless on his right flank but it is ultimately the left paw of Varela Cortes which makes the difference in the 25th on a direct corner magnificently lodged in the top corner of Broos. The spectators did not have time to get bored and Aische took the opportunity to equalize meritoriously a few minutes later thanks to a former resident of La Cabouse, Bryan Mangunza.
The Canaries return to the field with the knife between their teeth and go straight to the offensive but it is Mangunza who comes up against a decisive Bronckart between his poles. As a symbol, on a free kick perfectly given by Varela Cortes on the hour mark, it was the former Aischois goleador Laurent Dethier who restored the advantage to the locals with an unstoppable header for Broos.
United and solid defensively, the Walloon Brabançons finally managed to resist the pressure from Namur at the end of the match under high tension and to win three oh-so-important points with a view to maintaining their position.
In the Jodoignois ranks, the joy and relief of success were somewhat tarnished by the victories of Flénu and Arquet. “These are really three good points and if it's 2-0 after three minutes, there's nothing to say. We were dominated by an Aische team who had technical and physical skills but we fought for each other. There are results that greatly surprise me but we will continue to only take care of ourselves“, analyzed local mentor Steve Dessart.
On the other hand, it was more like grimace soup. “Jodoigne beat us in two set phases while we generally dominated the game but we are missing a killer in front of goal. I have nothing to reproach my guys because they gave everything but we really deserved better than this bitter defeat“, concluded Namur coach Claudio Batatinha.
