Patro Eisden hosted Club NXT in the third round of the Challenger Pro League on Saturday, 29 August 2026, and lost 1-2. Amengai opened the scoring early for the hosts before Nainggolan equalised from the spot and Soria struck deep into stoppage time to seal the away victory.
Amengai's goal came in the 26th minute, a brief spell of confidence for the home side. After half an hour, the visitors began to control the tempo. Delpupo was brought off for Patro in the 59th minute as the match shifted. Nainggolan netted a penalty in the 66th minute, and the momentum had turned.
By then the visitors were playing a man up on paper, though the narrative is not so clean. They dominated possession and created more, but the result hung on two decisive moments: the penalty and the late strike. Patro lost the ball more often, but they stayed compact and did not concede until the final minutes.
The statistics tell the story of a one-sided afternoon. Club NXT held 71 per cent possession, completed 531 passes compared with Patro's 169, and registered 71 attacks against 29. Shots were level at three on target each, yet the visitors found the net twice. Patro's goalkeeper made only one save.
The home side sit 11th with three points from three games, having won one and lost two. Club NXT sit third with six points from two wins. The result extends the visitors' run and leaves Patro searching for a breakthrough after a 1-2 defeat at Lierse on 22 August.
