RSCA Futures is currently the most promising team in the Challenger Pro League and wanted to prove it today against rival Club NXT. A victory at the Schiervelde stadium immediately meant first place in the standings for the Viola & Bianchi.
Yet the relationships of value between the young people of the two superpowers were very similar. The game went up and down eagerly for the entire game.
It became very clear in the first half hour that Senne Lammens shares the training ground with Simon Mignolet. Twice the young goalkeeper made an excellent save. On the other hand, Shion Homma’s dribbling skills ensured the 1-0 with a nice curling ball. The home team was the first to celebrate.
But the party at home it was short-lived. A few minutes later, Stassin showed why he was brought to Anderlecht team A. The Anderlecht youth top scorer also claimed the title of top scorer in 1B today.
Yet this was only a harbinger of a haunting final phase.
It started when Homma hit the ground in the rectangle: penalty. Romeo Vermant had the opportunity to put Club back in the lead, but slipped on his run to the spot and sent the ball so high over the cage.
Both Nicky Hayen and Guillaume Gillet absolutely wanted to win and immediately launched new forces onto the pitch. Gold banknotes, as it turned out later.
Ten minutes from time, Simion Michez, one of those substitutes, manages to outsmart Lammens with a deflected shot. And right at the last minute Lennart Mertens did what he does best: score.
A fair draw, which costs Anderlecht the advantage, but which means that the Club remains unbeaten at home.
