Match Report
A late goal from Besfort Zeneli settled a gripping top-of-the-table showdown at Stade Joseph Mariën, as Royale Union SG edged Club Brugge KV 2–1 to extend their winning run to five consecutive matches.
Brandon Mechele put the visitors ahead in the 15th minute, converting from a corner to give Club Brugge an early foothold. Union drew level through Mateo Biondic on 29 minutes, with Anan Khalaili supplying the assist. The decisive blow came in the 81st, when Zeneli fired home — Khalaili again the provider, completing an outstanding double-assist night. Six yellow cards distributed across both sides reflected the ferocity of the contest, though neither team was reduced to ten men.
The result keeps Union firmly in command at the summit of the Championship Group, their fifth straight win sending a clear title message. For Club Brugge, losing to their nearest rivals hurts — they must respond quickly as the season heads into its final, decisive stretch.
