| Goal Door Benito Raman Na 84 ‘, 0 – 1 |
Benito Raman has done it again. No one on the Belgian football fields who would rather crawl in a hero role than he, but against Westerlo, he successfully claimed the spotlights again. While KV Mechelen mainly tried to survive after the break, he still gave his team in minute 84 the victory with a surprise goal. And so KVM is in a shared leadership place.
Westerlo – KV Mechelen in a nutshell:
- Key moment
Minute 84, Raman strikes: after a whole series of missed opportunities from Westerlo, Mechelen sets the attack in one flash. Raman receives the ball on the edge of the 16 and floating in the cold.
- Match Man
After an hour Benito Raman was finally allowed to make his first minutes of the new football season. And whether he was looking forward to it after his suspension of two match days! He came in, immediately made the difference by giving more depth in the Mechelen game and at the time of the truth showed himself cool -blooded to give the three points to KV Mechelen with his 100th professional goal.
- Remarkable
With his winning goal against Westerlo, Benito Raman has 100 goals in his professional career. A nice series that started 13 years ago at an early stage of the cup football, when he scored in the 8-0 victory of KAA Gent against Bocholt.
How can you, outside of two match days suspension, better start your new football season, than Benito Raman?
Every striker would sign for such an entrance. Inserted on the hour and decisively in the lock. With a few minutes to go, he was played just within sixteen, stayed with a lucky possession and without hesitation his 100th professional goal was flooded past Ljungdal.
ZOh Raman on his own threw the lid on the nose of Westerlo. Because the home team earned more.
Both after the first half, in which Haspolat hit the target wood after fifteen minutes with an elegant free kick and in which the ramparts were also unable to score just before half -time via an offensive and a shot of Rommens in being.
The only answer from KV Mechelen was also a ball against the post, from Pflücke. Although the rescue with the fingertips of Ljungdal was also much needed.
Number 100 for Raman
As after the second half, because he caught Westerlo just like the first, only with a new dose of fresh courage, which increased the chances.
From close by, Reynolds missed a dot of an opportunity through a mistrap, the shelter of Ferri just sailed just over the cage of the Wolf, who went well on the slider of Van den Keybus and also Ibude did not head up close between the frame.
KV Mechelen could only limit itself to pin pricks, although there was more threat after Raman made his entrance to the hour. He crowned himself as a match winner and gave KV Mechelen a – for the time being – shared leadership.
And Westerlo will curse herself that it no longer removed from this competition. It swallows his second defeat of the season.
End: Westerlo 0-1 kv Mechelen
It’s over! In his first minutes in the Jupiler Pro League, Benito Raman crowns a match winner. Like a devil from a box, he flooded the visitors at 0-1 in the end. Against the course of the game, because Westerlo made the most claim to a goal throughout the second half. But finding it was too difficult for Ferri, Reynolds and Mebude. Eventually the ramparts get the lid on the nose. KV Mechelen does not miss its competition start and is currently in the lead together with STVV.
After a splitting pass Cordero is sent into the depth. The young Cordero hurts after the ball, but is pushed out of the field in a hefty way by Struyf. Referee Michiel Allaert lets it all committed, incomprehensible. This always had to be a yellow card for Struyf.
There are 5 minutes extra time.
Charaï now puts everything on everything and throws his last asset with Kyan Vaesen for Van den Keybus.
Can he still drag a point out of it?
Raman scores!
You are a goal scorer or you are not. As a devil from a box, Raman receives the ball in the sixteen, with a bit of luck he stays in possession of the ball and he flammed the ball mercilessly in front of Westerlo. In this way he still throws the lid on the nose of the ruffs.
Has Westerlo faded his best powder? KV Mechelen certainly smells a momentum. Lauberbach delivers a shot, Ljungdal takes.
Marsa with the waist!
Almost the lid on the nose for Westerlo. Raman receives the ball in the sixteen and opens again for the upcoming Marsa. Full of dedication, the Spanish flank defender kicks the ball, but his hard shot goes wide.
KV Mechelen can come out for the first time. It is with a long cross from Pflücke who falls on the second post. Via half a salvation from Ljungdal and completely relieved by Rommens, the ball goes into corner kick.
Free Kopans Mebude
Again a big chance for Westerlo. Mebude is completely free for the goal, Rommens has seen that and places his cross exactly between the defenders where Mebude stands. Mebude wants to deposit nicely next to the pole and he does that too, but on the wrong side.
