Union Saint-Jiloise continues to dream of the title. More comfortably than the final score shows, it went 2-1 away from Club Brugge in the second matchday of the Jupiler League playoffs.
With the three points, it moved up to second place, catching the leader Genk on 41 points, which has played one match less.
