I had done the main stadium here back on 29th August 2015, when I saw K.F.C. Park Houthalen draw 1-1 with Racing Peer in a Limburg Provincial 2A match. Today’s match was on Pitch B, which is behind the clubhouse/stand, running at right angles to the main pitch.

This wasn’t high on quality. Both sides were really poor up front, whilst neither defence were very good either. Quite how we managed to see seven goals is a mystery. It had been quite dull for an hour (they only play 2 x 40 mins at U17 level) but burst into life when Park went 2-1 ahead with twenty minutes left. It soon became 3-1 and when Sint-Truidense then missed a penalty, which was put wide of the target, it looked all over for them. However, they volleyed in to make it 3-2 a minute later, but were two goals adrift again, when a miss hit shot went under the ’keeper to make it 4-2. Park had a player red carded a minute from time, picking up a second yellow card, before Sint-Truidense pulled it back to 4-3 right at the death.
