Konadu missed a penalty, then scored twice to save Lommel a point

Antwerp had more of the ball and better chances, but Lommel United left the Bosuilstadion with a draw built on Don-Angelo Konadu's second-half double.

Don-Angelo Konadu missed a penalty for Lommel United in the 18th minute at the Bosuilstadion, and it looked like the sort of miss that could decide the night. It did not. Snayder Porozo put Antwerp ahead in the 40th minute, Konadu levelled seven minutes later, and Modibo Fofana restored the home lead in the 52nd. Konadu struck again in the 66th, and the striker who had wasted a penalty finished the match with the goals that counted.

Antwerp had more of the ball than they usually do. Their share of possession (the time a side spends with the ball) was clearly above the 48.4% they average at home over nine matches this season. Having the ball is not the same as winning a match, though, and the extra time in possession did not secure them the points.

The chances tell the clearer story. Antwerp had 21 shots, against the 13 they average at home, and 16 of them came from inside the penalty area. Their expected goals (xG, a figure for how good each chance was, where a value near 1 means a chance a striker would usually be expected to score) reached 2.73, well above the 1.38 they usually record at home. Lommel had 12 shots, close to their away average of 11.3, but their xG of 1.86 was clearly higher than the 1.1 they average on the road.

Two goals from that volume of chances is a modest return, and that gap is where the home side lost its advantage. Antwerp conceded two, below their home average of 2.4, so their defence held up better than the shot count might suggest. Lommel also conceded two, which is more than the 1.1 they usually let in when they play away.

Konadu was the figure who changed the match. He took five shots, three of them on target, and his rating of 8.9 was the highest in the game. Porozo and Fofana gave Antwerp their goals, but it was Konadu's finishing in open play that carried Lommel to a point.

Lommel's recent form is mixed, with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six matches, including a 2-0 home win. Antwerp have won once in the same run, a 3-0 victory at home, and lost the other five. Lommel are sixth with 16 points from 11 matches, and Antwerp are 13th with 11 points from the same number of games.
