“Christopher Scott booked for time-wasting as La Louvière look to slow the game down”
“Antwerp make five simultaneous substitutions in desperate search for breakthrough”
“Xander Dierckx picks up first yellow card for foul just four minutes after coming on”
La Louvière held Antwerp to a frustrating goalless draw in a caggy affair that was defined more by discipline than attacking prowess. The match turned on Xander Dierckx's 88th-minute dismissal for a second bookable offense, leaving Antwerp to finish with ten men after the substitute had been on the pitch for just eleven minutes. Both sides made wholesale changes in the second half as the game became increasingly scrappy, with Christopher Scott also picking up a booking for time-wasting as La Louvière looked to preserve their clean sheet. The result does little for either side's ambitions, with chances at a premium throughout a match that failed to spark into life.
