On Sep 15th, Union Saint-Gilloise hosted Malmö FF in their last match together. Union Saint-Gilloise was victorious by a score of 3 to 2. Joseph Ceesay struck first for Malmö FF in the 6th minute, then Christian Burgess tied it up for Union Saint-Gilloise in the 17th minute on a feed from Teddy Teuma But luckily in the 71st minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Victor Okoh Boniface.
Union Saint-Gilloise is fortunate enough to have Dante Vanzeir in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 5 goals. Isaac Thelin and Søren Rieks are the top scorers for Malmö FF in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
