Sporting Hasselt cruise past Eendracht Aalst in friendly
Sporting Hasselt made light work of Eendracht Aalst in a Club Friendly on Friday, winning 4:1 at the home ground. The visitors controlled the tempo from the opening whistle and never looked back. And here's the thing — they scored in the first eight minutes of the second half alone.
J. Triest opened the scoring for Eendracht just before the break, but the visitors responded immediately. M. Bounou, L. Vankerkhoven and Ngoyi struck in quick succession after the interval. By then the match had already been decided, though they didn't know it yet.
There was a fifth goal at 74 minutes to complete the rout. The away side found a way through whenever Eendracht tried to get back into things. They changed shape at the break and it showed in the goals.
Eendracht Aalst have seen mixed results in their recent friendlies. They beat Kontyukh 2:1 in August 2024 but lost to Albert Chevè Mons the following month. Their form has been uneven, and this result fits the pattern.
Sporting Hasselt come from a game where they thrashed Tongeren 10:0 on their last outing. They'll be pleased with the result here, even if the opposition wasn't at full strength. To be fair, the scoreline could have been worse.
