Union St Gilloise didn’t hold back in the second half of their Europa League clash with Hapoel Beer Sheva. The Belgian side, playing their ‘home’ game across the border in Germany, scored three goals in the second half to record a 4-0 victory. Union St Gilloise made the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf their home for the clash with the Israeli club and took a while to get going. Raul Florucz scored just before half-time from the spot, with Union St Gilloise suffering another injury blow as Florucz had replaced Mateo Biondic early on in the game.

Darius Olaru had then also had to go off injured, being replaced by Dylan Aquino. Like Florucz, Aquino had an impact on the game, scoring his first goal for Union St Gilloise since joining over the summer from Lanus. This had made it 3-0 to Union St Gilloise, with Brazilian winger Guiherme Smith having scored just after the hour mark to make it 2-0. Smith got his second in the 80th minute as Union St Gilloise recorded a comfortable 4-0 victory.

The result means that Union St Gilloise are now unbeaten in the Europa League, having beaten Viktoria Plzen in their opening game and drawing 1-1 with La Liga side Real Sociedad last week. Next up for the Belgian side is a another Spanish side Celta Vigo, who also won yesterday away to Celtic.
