Match Report

Royale Union Saint-Gilloise came from behind to stun early pacesetters Charleroi 2-3 in a thrilling Pro League clash at the Stade du Pays de Charleroi, with Kamiel Van de Perre's curling strike just after the restart deciding a match that swung four times. Charleroi goalkeeper Mohamed Koné gifted Union an early lead with an own goal in the 12th minute, but Freddy Mbemba levelled things up on 27 minutes before Patrick Pflücke put the hosts 2-1 up with a slick team move. Adem Zorgane restored parity right on the stroke of half-time, and four minutes into the second half Van de Perre found the top corner to complete the turnaround. Union also survived a late scare when a Havenaar header cannoned off the crossbar. The win lifts Union to the top of the table on 13 points, while Charleroi's perfect start unravels: their first defeat of the season drops them into a three-way tie for third.
