Royale Union Saint-Gilloise vs Lommel

Royale Union SG put on a statement performance at home, blitzing Lommel SK with two goals inside the first seven minutes and never letting up on the way to a 5-0 rout. The standout moment came early, as Lommel's defense was caught cold and never recovered its footing. Besfort Zeneli opened the scoring in the 3rd minute, latching onto a defense-splitting pass, and Relebohile Mofokeng doubled the lead just four minutes later by exploiting gaps in Lommel's high defensive line. Union picked up bookings for Massiré Sylla (42') and Louis Patris (52') but otherwise controlled the game comfortably. Substitute Ilan Hurtevent struck almost immediately after coming on, making it 3-0, before Raul Florucz added a late brace in the 88th and 90+2nd minutes to complete the rout. The win lifts Royale Union SG to the top of the table, at least temporarily, piling pressure on Gent ahead of their weekend fixture. For Lommel SK, the heavy defeat leaves them stuck in the lower half of the standings with plenty of work still to do.
