Union Saint-Gilloise booked their place in the Belgian Cup final with a dominant 4-1 win over Sporting Charleroi at Parc Duden on Thursday, with Algerian midfielder Adem Zorgane standing out for his performance.
Zorgane, facing his former club for the first time since his summer transfer from Charleroi for over €4 million, delivered a decisive assist for Raul Florucz’s fourth goal.
The Algerian midfielder demonstrated composure and tactical awareness, lifting his head before delivering a perfectly weighted pass to Florucz, effectively sealing the match.
Already influential in midfield due to his work rate and game intelligence, Zorgane added an attacking edge to Union Saint-Gilloise’s performance.
The second half underlined the team’s strength, blending defensive solidity with swift attacking transitions.
Sporting Charleroi struggled to respond, with fellow Algerians Yacine Titraoui and Kévin Guitoun unable to stem the tide.
Titraoui was even sent off, while Guitoun’s attempts to contain Union’s attacks proved ineffective.
Zorgane’s contribution reinforced Union’s dominance and highlighted their credentials as serious contenders for the Belgian Cup trophy.
His performance echoed that of another Algerian, Amoura, who previously won the Cup with Union before moving to the Bundesliga.
The victory capped a display of teamwork and tactical discipline, with Union controlling possession and exploiting gaps in Charleroi’s defence.
Their path to the final showcased both depth and versatility, with Zorgane at the heart of their midfield engine.
Fans and analysts alike noted his maturity, particularly in high-pressure moments against his former teammates.
Union Saint-Gilloise now prepare for the final, confident that their midfield dynamism, anchored by Zorgane’s creativity and vision, could be the key to lifting the Belgian Cup once again.
