Flenu vs FC United Richelle
FLENU, Belgium (Interstat) — In a dramatic finish, Flenu scored twice in the final minutes to overturn a deficit and defeat FC United Richelle 2-1 in a Belgian Division 2 match on Wednesday afternoon at Complexe Sportif de Flénu.
The visitors appeared poised to secure a valuable road victory and complete a season double over Flenu, having won the prior meeting 2-0 in November. Instead, Flenu staged a stunning late rally to claim three points and solidify its position in the league table.
The match was a tense, defensive affair for much of the evening, with clear chances scarce. The deadlock was finally broken in the 82nd minute, but not by a goal. FC United Richelle goalkeeper Logan Bauvois received a yellow card, an event that foreshadowed the coming chaos. Just two minutes later, his teammate, substitute Manuel Angiulli, was also booked.
The game erupted in the 89th minute. Flenu defender Mohan Lagneaux, pushing forward, found the net to level the score and ignite the home supporters. Before the visitors could regroup, Flenu struck again in the first minute of stoppage time. Substitute Noah Mievis completed the rapid turnaround with the decisive goal, assisted by the cautioned Bauvois, whose long distribution from his own area created the opportunity.
The result continued divergent paths for the two clubs this season. Flenu improved its Division 2 record to 11 wins, 7 losses and 4 draws, moving it into a more favorable position in the standings. Across all competitions, Flenu now stands at 11-8-4. The victory followed a dominant 5-0 win over Entite Manageoise just three days prior, showcasing the team’s current form.
For FC United Richelle, the collapse marked another difficult result in a challenging campaign. The team’s Division 2 record fell to 5 wins, 11 losses and 5 draws, mirroring its overall record of 5-11-5. The club has now won just once in its last nine matches across all competitions, a stretch featuring five draws and three losses.
The frantic finish aligned with the pregame projection from Interstat, whose game simulator had predicted a 2-1 Flenu victory. The organization’s ELO rating system had given Flenu an 84.2 percent probability to win the contest.
Flenu will look to maintain its momentum on Sunday when it hosts RFC Tournai. FC United Richelle, seeking to halt its slide, returns home to face Ganshoren, also on Sunday.
