The Belgians practically controlled the game from the start and did most of the work in the first half. First, young Luca Oyen scored twice within five minutes, and four minutes before the end of the first half, Yira Sor continued their work, setting the final score for the first half. In the second half, both coaches made several substitutions, and the final score was set in the last minute of the match by Toluwalase Emmanuel Arokodare.
Celar and his team face another test in just three days when they take on Schaffhausen, who occupy the last position in the second Swiss league.
