MOUSCRON, Belgium (Interstat) — PandaYoungsters23 scored three extra-time goals to break a 2-2 deadlock and secure a 6-2 victory over Stad Mouscronnois on Sunday in a Division 3 match at Stade Le Canonnier.

The visitors, who entered the match with a 22-5-3 record in competition, overcame an early deficit and then dominated the extra period to hand Stad Mouscronnois its eighth loss in all competitions, dropping the home side to 21-8-6 overall.

Stad Mouscronnois struck first in the 10th minute when Soriba Sylla found the net. The lead lasted less than 20 minutes. PandaYoungsters23 equalized in the 29th minute as Hugo Nibus scored his first of the match, then Matteo Filorizzo put the visitors ahead in the 32nd minute with a goal assisted by Amine El Fatmi.

The home side answered before halftime pressure resumed. Idir Ouali leveled the score in the 70th minute, and the match remained tied through regulation. Stad Mouscronnois had several chances in the closing stages but could not convert as goalkeeper Augustin Lepoutre made key stops and later provided an assist on the counterattack.

The game turned decisively in extra time. PandaYoungsters23 substitute Ilan Hanf scored the go-ahead goal in the 108th minute, then added another in the 112th minute to give the visitors a 4-2 cushion. Nibus completed his brace with a goal in the 118th minute, and Victor Tihon also scored during the extra period to round out the scoring. Hanf and Nibus each finished with two goals, while Filorizzo had one goal and one assist.

Other key contributors included Yohan Brouckaert, Alessandro Litteri and Jaden Malhage, who each recorded an assist. Kieran Félix assisted on a goal but was also shown a yellow card in the 97th minute and then received a red card in the same minute, reducing PandaYoungsters23 to 10 men for the final stretch. Stad Mouscronnois could not capitalize on the numerical advantage.

The match was marked by a flurry of yellow cards. Jaden Malhage was booked in the 35th minute, followed by Matteo Filorizzo in the 45th. Yohan Brouckaert received a yellow in the 75th, Amine El Fatmi in the 87th and Augustin Lepoutre in the 91st. Alessandro Litteri was cautioned in the 102nd minute. Despite the discipline issues, PandaYoungsters23 maintained control, particularly in the extra periods.

The victory extended PandaYoungsters23’s strong run of form. The team has won six of its past seven league matches, including a 3-0 win at RCS Libramontois on April 26 and an 11-2 home rout of RESC Houffaloise on April 19. Stad Mouscronnois, meanwhile, has struggled recently, losing three of its last four overall. The home side’s previous match was a 4-3 win at Kosova Schaerbeek on April 26.

PandaYoungsters23’s season record in Division 3 improved to 22-5-3, while Stad Mouscronnois fell to 21-7-5 in competition. The loss dropped Stad Mouscronnois to 21-8-6 across all competitions.

The game’s pace slowed in the second half as both sides made tactical substitutions. PandaYoungsters23’s depth proved decisive, with substitutes accounting for all six goals. Hanf, Nibus, Filorizzo and Tihon all entered the match from the bench and combined to produce the scoring outburst.

Stad Mouscronnois threatened early in extra time but could not convert. Félix’s red card in the 97th minute gave the home side a man advantage, but PandaYoungsters23’s defense held firm. Lepoutre and El Fatmi helped organize the back line, while Brouckaert and Litteri connected in midfield to launch counterattacks.

The result was a departure from pregame expectations. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 2-2 tie, while Interstat’s ELO system gave Stad Mouscronnois a 66.00 percent probability to win. Instead, PandaYoungsters23’s explosive extra-time performance flipped the script and secured a crucial three points on the road.
