Yacine Titraoui produced a standout performance capped by a stunning goal as Charleroi claimed a 2-0 away victory over title contenders Saint Trond to extend their impressive winning run in the Belgian league.
The midfielder opened the scoring in the second half with a moment of individual brilliance, setting the tone for a result that lifted the visitors to sixth place in the table.
Facing a Saint Trond side sitting second in the standings, Charleroi delivered a disciplined and clinical display to secure a fourth consecutive win.
Titraoui’s influence was evident throughout the contest.
Operating primarily in a defensive midfield role, he combined defensive awareness with attacking intent, dictating the tempo of the match and linking play effectively between the lines.
Over the course of 90 minutes, he was constantly involved, offering himself for the ball and driving his side forward whenever space appeared.
His contribution was reflected in the numbers.
Titraoui touched the ball 76 times, completed 88% of his passes and was flawless with his long-range distribution, achieving a 100% success rate.
Those statistics underlined his authority in midfield and his ability to control proceedings against one of the league’s strongest sides.
The opening goal came midway through the second half after Charleroi had remained patient.
Earlier in the match, Titraoui had tested his luck with a first-period effort that sailed over the bar, hinting at his attacking ambitions.
That warning was eventually answered in the 63rd minute when he capitalised on a shift in play by Yassine Khalifi.
Positioned on the edge of the area, Titraoui struck a dipping shot that curled into the top corner, leaving the Saint Trond goalkeeper with no chance.
Charleroi continued to manage the game effectively after taking the lead, limiting their hosts’ opportunities while remaining a threat on the counter-attack.
Kevin Guitoun featured at right-back, contributing to a defensive effort that kept Saint Trond at bay for the remainder of the match.
The visitors sealed the win in stoppage time when substitute Jakob Napoleon Romsaas added a second goal in the 90th minute, ensuring the points were secured in emphatic fashion.
The late strike crowned a composed team performance and underlined Charleroi’s growing confidence.
With four successive victories now behind them, Charleroi’s climb up the table gathers momentum.
For Titraoui, the night belonged to him, as a complete midfield display and a spectacular goal highlighted his importance to a side finding form at a crucial stage of the season.
