Tubize-Braine beats Habay 1-0; dangerous tackle sparks anger

Tubize-Braine defeated Habay 1-0 on Saturday, with Habay's Simon Poncelet injured by a dangerous tackle from Joël Ngoya that drew only a yellow card, sparking anger from the visiting team. Habay coach Samuel Petit condemned the tackle as an "aggression" and criticized the referee for not issuing a red card or allowing prompt medical attention. Habay, which lost for the fourth time this season, has failed to score in four of seven matches and holds the league's second-worst offensive record. Tubize's Makutungu scored the decisive goal in the 61st minute following a scramble. Habay captain François Reyter dismissed fatigue as an excuse, citing frustration over the officiating and his team's lack of finishing. Poncelet will undergo medical exams for his injury.
