Union SG open Belgian Pro League campaign in style

David sets the tone

The report says David scored once and supplied an assist, and that pattern fits the broader picture around him: he is not just a penalty-box finisher, but a forward who can stretch defences, run channels and create for others.

  • Westerlo struck first, but Union SG found a way back quickly.
  • David reportedly levelled the game and later helped create the goal that turned it around.
  • The late goals underlined how strongly Union SG finished.

That matters because title-chasing sides rarely get through a season on smooth afternoons alone. They need forwards who can change the rhythm of a game, and David appears to be that player.

No time to pause

The bigger test comes immediately. Union SG are due in Norway for a Champions League qualifier against Bodo/Glimt, with the report saying the first leg ended 3-3 in Belgium after a late David goal.

That makes the second leg about more than momentum.

  • A win keeps alive the route to the Champions League playoffs.
  • Defeat would push Union SG into the Europa League path.
  • Either way, the tie will say plenty about the squad’s readiness for a demanding season.

Transfer noise still hangs over it

The other storyline has not gone away. Reports suggest David’s future remains unresolved deep into the window, after he had been linked with a move elsewhere earlier in the summer. That uncertainty can unsettle a dressing room, but it can also sharpen focus if the player stays engaged and productive.

For now, Union SG have the ideal short-term answer: keep playing him, keep feeding him, and keep winning. The next clue will come against Bodo/Glimt, where a strong performance could shape both their European campaign and the next chapter in David’s summer.
