Radja Nainggolan puts Antwerp on the bench with two goals against Lillestrøm | European League of Conferences 2022/2023

Antwerp could already smell the Conference League playoffs thanks to the victory it was dreaming of at Lillstrom. The Norwegians offered more resistance than the score would suggest, but two goals from Radja Nainggolan made the difference.

Lillstrom – Antwerp in a nutshell:

  • key moment: After a late equalizer shortly before the break, Lillestrøm emerges from the dressing room with confidence. Even Ibrahimage immediately forced Botiz to a great save, but right after that, the home team hit the ball with his foot. A loss of the ball by Peterson leads to a 1-2 victory over Nainggolan.
  • man of the match: Radja Nainggolan certainly didn’t play his best game and was even on the grounds of a 1-1 draw with an accidental loss of the ball, but more than corrected that mistake with two important goals. The first was an easy internal faucet, the second was a gem.
  • noticeable: The Antwerp defense, with Toby Alderweireld, has been home to four clean sheets in several official matches this season. Tonight, without Toby Alderweireld, the series ended without any goals against him.

Antwerp forget to exploit mastery

With goals scored after barely 4 minutes 41 seconds, the match could not have started much better for Antwerp. Miyoshi drew a corner kick to Almeida’s header, which left goalkeeper Christiansen without a chance with a good header.

The tune is set instantly: a quiet mastery of Antwerp and a frantic Lillestrøm running after the ball. The home team didn’t have much or nothing to say at home, and the question of how Antwerp would perform to defend unanswered Alderweireld remained unanswered for a long time.

But despite the apparent dominance, Antwerp could no longer cause any danger after the early target, there was no doubt in the depth. And so he called visitors to disaster and even reached out to Lillstrom. After Nainggolan lost the ball, a pass from Kairinen came with some luck to Knudsen, who brought the home team side by side just before the break.

Nainggolan pushes Lillestrøm to the exit

Shortly after the break, Lillestrøm continued his momentum. Botiz had to bend when he hit Ibrahimage from an acute angle after a gentle offside. The momentum seemed to be for the hosts until Peterson clumsily handed the ball to Miyoshi. Balikuisha cleverly passed a low Japanese cross and Nainggolan managed to score easily from close range.

The start of the second half was a copy of the first with a quick goal from Antwerp after just over 4 minutes. Unfortunately, the sequel also followed a similar path. Spurza commentator Tom Bodwell summed it up: “We’re looking at the big thing. Little has happened, a little bit in the city image.”

However, fifteen minutes before the end, it was the Antwerp shock. After Miyoshi’s poor defense, Fredjohnson had an excellent opportunity to make it 2-2 after a pass from Hyland, but sent the ball wide.

Antwerp escaped and shortly before the end Nainggolan decided for his second match of the evening. From Al Hilal, he shot the ball gently past Christiansen into the goal. 1-3 Antwerp could return to Bosuil with an excellent starting position.

  1. The second half, the 95th minute. The end. Antwerp can start the return leg against Lillestrom next week with a great bonus.
