When I lived in Brussels this was my nearest ground, but despite living no more than fifteen minutes walk away, I never got round to seeing a match here. Today was the ideal opportunity to rectify that as the driver was heading for a match at R. Ixelles S.C. which is under ten minutes away by car, so perfect for a drop off.

Etterbeek are newly promoted into Provincial 1, whilst Maccabi are in Provincial 2. This was easily the best match of the weekend, with both sides putting in a real effort for the entire game. Etterbeek were just too strong. Maccabi missed a penalty, but it was already 4-0 by then, so it wouldn’t have made much difference to the final outcome if it had been scored.

Back at The Tunnel they were again failing to run to any sort of timetable. We left on a train at 21.18 that was certainly not on the schedule.
