No, La Gantoise is not unbeatable. Proof of this is that it lost on the OHL pitch (2-1) this Sunday, on the third day of the Europe Playoffs. This is the Buffalos’ first defeat in this mini-competition.
The Leuven captain Mathieu Maertens gave the University lead after 23 minutes. Leuven’s joy was short-lived since Matias Fernandez-Pardo equalized two minutes later. Maertens scored twice in the 37th minute.
Jonathan Bride Brunes scored a third Leuven goal in the 84th minute but the VAR canceled it for an offside position. Fernandez-Pardo wasted two equalizing balls which he failed to convert. OHL therefore beat Ghent for the first time after seven games without a victory against the team of Hein Vanhaezebrouckwho conceded their first defeat against Louvain.
