Stassin shoots RSCA Futures to first place

GAMES It's the RSCA Futures that put a smile on the Anderlecht fan's face these days. The U23 of purple and white won 1-3 yesterday at their Standard peers. Lucas Stassin (pictured) scored twice. This puts the RSCA Futures alongside Beerschot in the lead in 1B.


RSCA Futures started with Anouar Ait El Hadj and Killian Sardella in the starting lineup. The latter was still on the bench for 90 minutes with the first team yesterday afternoon. On the half-hour mark, the defender opened the scoring with a great goal. Shortly after halftime, Tapsoba equalized with a header. 

Through Stassin, the RSCA Futures got the lead again. First, he converted a penalty kick. A few minutes later, he scored with a nice placed ball. After his hat trick just before the international break, Stassin scored two more goals. His counter now stands at six goals in seven matches. Only Lierse striker Rocha is doing better.

RSCA Futures have 13 points from seven games after this win. That's as many as Beerschot, but the Rats are officially first because it counts one more win. Next Friday, the RSCA Futures play their next game, at home against Virton.
