Jupiler Pro League
OH Leuven was unable to continue his winning streak at Stayen. Thanks to Japanese goals Hara and Hayashi, STVV kept points at home. Good for a third Truiense win in a row.
STVV – OH Leuven in a nutshell:
- Key moment: Ten minutes before the end, Mercier gave Kappa an excellent opportunity to beat 1-1, but only for Schmidt, the Guinean misses rarely. STVV escapes and does not give up victory.
- man of the match: Taichi Hara can largely be credited with Truiense’s victory. The Japanese opened the score in the first half with a good header from a corner kick and gave Hayashi the decisive goal 2-0 in overtime.
- difficult programme: For OHL, the 4-game series ends unbeaten. He will be slightly alert to the end of the season, because with Anderlecht, Union, Antwerp and a.
Hara benefits from the Truiense attack campaign
Last week, a nugget turned out to be a recipe for success against the Federation, but tonight STVV took a different path. The host team chose to attack firmly, although this initially resulted in nothing more than a harmless long shot from Konate.
His combination with STVV did not work, at a stationary stage he was doing. Patrice almost scored an own goal from a free kick by Brools and was overtaken by Hara in a corner kick from the same Broles. He deserved to lead the home team forward.
There was no firm answer from OHL, although the clever combination of Schrijvers and Maertens caused some tension in STVV. Teixeira was able to pass the low cross into the corner in front of Capa’s nose.
Kaba misses the equaliser
Immediately after the break, Bruls and Hara nearly copied the opening goal, but this time the Japan header was very central and thus within reach of Ronarson. There was not a lot of offensive Truiense left after that, the home team crept into the familiar hedgehog position.
Ohl biting his teeth on her. Ten minutes before the end, the visitors managed to crack the code, but Kappa spoiled a big chance for Schmidt to score 1-1. A few minutes later, another OHL followed him when Malinov was disqualified.
STVV no longer had problems and cleared all doubts in overtime. Hara took on the role of the announcer this time around, and Hayashi finished off flawlessly. Thus, STVV scores a third win in a row and is sure of an extended stay at the top.
‘Not a fair outcome’
- Matthew Mertens (Ohio Leuven): “We had more possession and better chances, but we lacked a bit of luck to score. We should have been more patient with the ball. In the first half we played very hurriedly, after the break it was a little better.” Very frustrating, the result is also not true. It wasn’t, it’s disappointing. A football opponent like Anderlecht next week would probably suit us better than a solid team like STVV.”
- Christian Broyles (STVV): “The weather wasn’t nice, it wasn’t a nice match and not good football. But we have the three points and that’s all that matters. We were prepared from the start and deserved to be top.” It was hard. In the second half, especially because we had to play against the wind. In the end, we may have had a little luck on our side. OHL may have scored, but we finished it off in the end.”
