Outstanding performance
Sporting Charleroi•GoalkeeperSporting Charleroi delivered a clinical away performance to secure a commanding 2-0 victory over relegation-threatened Antwerp at the Bosuilstadion. Aurélien Scheidler opened the scoring with a well-taken ninth-minute strike that set the tone for the visitors' composed display, before Parfait Guiagon doubled the advantage from the penalty spot just past the hour mark. Antwerp's frustration boiled over as the match wore on, with Vincent Janssen picking up a booking for dissent as the hosts struggled to create meaningful chances against a disciplined Charleroi defensive unit. This crucial three points lifts Charleroi further clear of the relegation zone while leaving Antwerp rooted in 18th position, desperately needing results in their remaining fixtures to avoid the drop.
