Union Saint-Gilloise powered into the Belgian Cup final with a commanding 4-1 win over Sporting Charleroi, with Adem Zorgane marking the occasion by setting up the decisive fourth goal against his former club.
The result at Parc Duden confirmed Union’s authority in a tie that swung firmly in their favour after the break.
Zorgane, an Algerian international who joined Union last summer, played a prominent role in the attacking display, delivering the assist that sealed the victory and underlined the home side’s control.
Union’s second-half performance proved decisive as the Yellow and Blues shifted from containment to clinical attack.
The fourth goal captured that momentum. After regaining possession, Zorgane lifted his head and released a measured, curling pass at precisely the right moment.
Substitute Raul Florucz met it with a composed finish to put the result beyond doubt.
The move highlighted both the speed of Union’s transition and the technical precision that defined their dominance.
Zorgane’s contribution carried added significance given his connection to the opposition.
Having left Charleroi in a transfer reportedly worth more than €4m, the midfielder has remained open about his feelings for his former side.
“Charleroi will always remain in my heart,” he confided before the match. On the pitch, however, sentiment did not dilute his effectiveness.
His work rate and positioning in midfield were complemented by a decisive attacking contribution that helped secure Union’s place in the final.
Sporting Charleroi struggled to contain the sustained pressure. Their Algerian contingent endured a difficult evening, with Yacine Titraoui battling to keep pace with Union’s intensity before being sent off.
Kévin Guitoun worked to limit the Brussels side’s attacking surges but found little relief as Union continued to dictate the tempo.
The victory reinforced Union Saint-Gilloise’s ability to combine defensive discipline with sharp attacking execution.
By converting key moments and maintaining control after half-time, they ensured a comfortable margin and a place in the Belgian Cup final, capping a performance defined by efficiency and composure.
