Sint-Truidense VV won 3-0 against KV Mechelen and KV Mechelen finishes sixth in the Jupiler Pro League. The Truienaars had already secured third place and showed the Kakkers in Sint-Truiden that they cannot reach the European playoffs. Arbnor Muja, Taiga Hata and Ryan Merlen scored for Sint-Truidense VV. KV Mechelen had no answer and finishes sixth. Sint-Truidense VV's coach Wouter Vrancken showed in his farewell match that he can make the Truienaars play. The Limburgers showed some nice combinations. Sissako was the best Kanarie according to the Truiense public. Muja shot a first attempt over and Sissako missed the first big chance after a well-practiced free kick via Muja and Merlen. Malinwa reacted with a poor shot from Koudou. It was simply disappointing what the Kakkers showed in Sint-Truiden. As if the lemon was completely empty. Muja punished still before the half hour: great counterattack via Yamamoto, where the loan player Marsa excelled and calmly shot past De Wolf (2-0). STVV deserved the lead. Malinwa had no answer - while the champion at that moment crushed the competitors of KAA Gent on Jan Breydel. One point would have sufficed for that fifth place, it was quickly clear. Servais pushed a cross from Koudou into the side net, Massimo Decoene signed for the first real action of the Mechelaars, when Truiense goalkeeper Lendfers had all the trouble in the world to tap his deflection out of his goal. Did the visitors come on the pace? No, that was not the case. Muja shot from about thirty meters over and next to an empty goal after De Wolf dramatically ran out of his big rectangle. Postponement of execution, however. Muja - yes, he had it in him - set himself up well on the right and slid into the goal, where wingback Hata emerged from the back of Koudou and pushed past De Wolf (2-0). There was no improvement after the break. It was outbolling - the tempo completely dropped. In minute 65, Malinwa, where substitute Raman came no further than a shot from outside the box, still had a chance to catch up the Kakkers. But Lendfers was not in it. The Truienaars had the win already and could celebrate their third place. KV Mechelen finishes sixth and cannot reach the European playoffs.
