OC Charleroi
Club NXT U23
Club NXT U23 delivered a commanding away performance to comprehensively defeat struggling OC Charleroi 3-0 in the Challenger Pro League. The breakthrough came just after the hour mark when Rayan Buifrahi opened the scoring, before Thibaut Van Acker doubled the lead two minutes later to effectively kill the contest. Charleroi's response was desperate rather than threatening, with manager making wholesale changes in a bid to salvage something from the match, but substitute Jessi Da Silva capped off a dominant display with the third goal eight minutes from time. This result highlights the gulf in quality between the sides, with Club NXT's young talents showcasing their development while Charleroi's struggles in the lower reaches of the table continue.
