Racing and Gantoise reduce the gap at the top of the competition

Belgium Wegnez - Racing and Gantoise reduce the gap at the top of the competition - Beerschot – Leopold: 4-4.There was suspense on the side of Kontich with a full, committed and exciting match between 2 teams with very different objectives. The people of Brussels want to finish the regular competition in the lead to validate the first EHL ticket while the people of Antwerp will have to work hard to ensure their maintenance in the honor division. And it was the local team who took the lead via 2 goals from François Sior (including a penalty). In the 22nd minute, Arthur Verdussen finally sounded the revolt for the Ucclois but Sior, decidedly well inspired this afternoon, scored the hat-trick on pc When he returned from the locker room, Leo took the initiative and Max Plennevaux struck twice (38th and 51st). The Bee did not give up and regained the advantage on a stroke converted by Arthur De Sloover. The leader of the competition wanted to avoid a 6th setback and it was Dylan Englebert who got his team out of this bad situation when there were still 7 minutes to play in the game. The Ucclois then threw all their forces into the battle to bring back the 3 points but the Mauve et Blanc held on and collected a good point for their rescue mission which will have to continue during the delicate trip to Racing next Sunday.

Antwerp is now guaranteed to go down to Division 1, […]

But looking back, I was not prepared enough for these tournaments. I really didn't know what to expect. Maybe I was a little too young and lacked support. I refereed well but there was a little something missing. At the time, I was very stressed and closed.

After leading several Pro League matches, she will fly south for South Africa, where she will officiate at the U21 World Cup. A new essential step that could lead her, in 2 years, to the Olympic Games.
