Ghanaian forward Mohammed Fuseini came off the bench to round off a dominant 3–0 victory for Union St.Gilloise against KV Mechelen in the Belgian Pro League championship play-offs.
The 22-year-old struck in stoppage time, calmly finishing in the 90+2nd minute after being teed up by Anouar Ait El Hadj to put the perfect gloss on a statement performance at Stade Joseph Marien.
Union had already taken firm control of the contest long before Fuseini’s late impact. Mateo Biondic opened the scoring on 11 minutes, sliding home from an Anan Khalaili assist to reward the hosts’ bright start and give them a deserved half-time lead. Ait El Hadj then doubled the advantage on the hour mark, coolly converting after Biondic turned provider with a precise pass.
From there, Union managed the game expertly, limiting Mechelen to just five shots while creating the far clearer chances and winning the expected goals battle. Fuseini’s goal underlined the strength of David Hubert’s bench and extended Union’s impressive run, including back-to-back wins over Mechelen. Attention now turns to their next assignment, a high-stakes Belgian Cup clash at home to Anderlecht on Thursday, May 14.
