six-match losing streak came to an end on Saturday with American goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina shining in a shutout victory over Sporting Charleroi Slonina made four saves to preserve his first clean sheet as a member of the top-division side as Eupen defeated Sporting Charleroi 2-0 The win moved Eupen up to 10th place in the Pro League standings as they captured their first victory since August 26 Jan Kral opened the scoring for Eupen in the 45th minute heading home Isaac Christie-Davies’ cross before halftime Eupen would double its lead in the 54th minute as Kevin Mohwald finished off Gary Magnee’s assist for a 2-0 lead that it wouldn’t relinquish It marked the first goals of the season for both Kral and Mohwald while Slonina also pulled his weight in the result Nikola Stulic and Mehdi Boukamir were both denied by the Chelsea loanee in the first half before Slonina also helped Eupen hang onto its lead A diving save by Slonina on Youssouph Badji paired with some later help from his left post kept Eupen in front for remainder of the match has made 10 starts since arriving on a season-loan loan from Chelsea Up next for Slonina and Eupen is a home clash with Oostende in the Belgian Cup on October 31 and Odunze are the future of GK for the US Probably the first choice for the Olympic team Him.amd Brady are the future along with Odunze “it is hard to get a good read on him until he plays behind a decent team and defense.” Chelsea thought enough of him to spend some money So far he looks like he’s doing okay for a 19 year old keeper but that ‘s it He’s not some phenom like Donnaruma who was Milan’s starter at age 18 “is a good example where it’s a nightly task and if you’re inconsistent that’s a problem.” Brad was 31 in 2015 and already on the downside of his career after having a stellar run in England with Aston Villa He was named their player of the year for the 2012- 13 season for basically almost single handedly saving them from relegation But he stayed too long and was shell shocked and ruined by that swiss cheese shooting gallery that was the Villa defense He went from being very good to being inconsistent A better cautionary tale for Slonina would be Zach it is hard to get a good read on him until he plays behind a decent team and defense in belgium he has a GAA >2 and this is his first shutout chicago was also poor and he was GAA ~ 1.5 he has promise and can be an incredible shot stopper but guzan (in the nets for the depressing GC 15 the first 2 qualifiers in the final round of 2018 qualifying we lost) is a good example where it’s a

Sports reported Friday Slonina’s loan deal will run through the upcoming season but isn’t expected to include a purchase option The 19-year-old Slonina joined Chelsea from the Chicago Fire in 2022 and

France international Claude Makelele joined Belgian side Eupen as their head coach in November 2017. Philippe Crochet - Getty ImagesFormer Chelsea and Real Madrid man Claude Makelele steered Eupen to safety after an incredible last-day finale in Belgium's top flight who worked as assistant coach to Carlo Ancelotti and Laurent Blanc at Paris Saint-Germain was appointed in November with the mission of saving Eupen from relegation to Belgium's second tier Bottom of the table ahead of the final game Eupen knew they needed to win against Mouscron by one more goal than rivals Mechelen who started the day +1 better off in terms of goal difference Eupen's superior goals scored tally meant they would stay up if points and goal difference were equal All hope for Makelele's men appeared to have evaporated with Mechelen leading 2-0 before the hour mark and Eupen goalless at the same stage in their encounter That meant Eupen needed to find the net three times to stay up but incredibly they struck four in the final 17 minutes -- including a hat trick for Japanese forward Yuta Toyokawa -- to condemn Mechelen to the drop The nightmare turnaround in fortunes for Mechelen led their French forward Nicolas Verdier who finished third from bottom of the table but had already secured top flight survival before kick-off "From what I have heard, Mouscron did not respect the Jupiler Pro League. It's a lack of professionalism and a lack of respect that tarnishes the image of the club," he told Proximus 11 "We were leading 2-0 and Eupen score four in 20 minutes .. I hope there will be an analysis of incidents in the game and that decisions will be taken." Belgian media reported prior to kick-off that the company charged with installing VAR for the game in Eupen had brought the wrong cables Eupen will now contest the playoffs featuring the clubs that finished seventh to 15th in the 16-team league and could qualify for next season's UEFA Europa League if successful On Matchday 24 of the Challenger Pro League KAS Eupen suffered a disappointing defeat against La Louvière Despite the support of around 100 euphoric costumed fans who turned Carnival Friday into a colorful spectacle Mersad Selimbegović’s team was unable to build on their recent performances and had to return home empty-handed The match started with an early chance for KAS Eupen in the 6th minute the home team created their first dangerous opportunity La Louvière capitalized on a situation that may have been offside to take a 1-0 lead but a header from Gorenc in the 15th minute was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Although KAS Eupen showed effort in the first half The Pandas rarely posed a real threat in front of goal and struggled to create significant chances but the game remained largely controlled by the hosts when Van Genechten won the ball and passed to Déom ended in a missed opportunity as Philip Ejike failed to control the ball KAS Eupen continued to lack precision and attacking efficiency bringing on Wedingo and Hendrickx to add fresh energy and new tactical options Eupen struggled to create clear-cut chances La Louvière remained dangerous and continued to put pressure on Eupen but their attacks lacked accuracy and effectiveness A shot against the post in the 83rd minute and another strike hitting the woodwork in the 87th minute were not enough to turn the game around KAS Eupen was unable to replicate their performances from recent weeks The team not only lacked precision in finishing but also the necessary attacking presence The Pandas struggled to create goal-scoring opportunities and failed to show the required decisiveness in crucial moments was the more dangerous side and punished Eupen’s weaknesses the Pandas must bounce back and take advantage of their next opportunity Final Score: 0-2 in favor of La Louvière Defender Aleksandr Filin is leaving KAS Eupen he has asked KAS Eupen to terminate his contract KAS Eupen has complied with this request due to the special personal circumstances with regard to the armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia Aleksandr Filin moved from KV Khimki to KAS Eupen in January 2023 He has played 27 matches for the Pandas in the Jupiler Pro League KAS Eupen thanks Aleksandr Filin for his commitment in the club’s jersey and wishes him all the best for his future career Gaga Slonina is going to get a chance to get some playing time. Today, Chelsea FC announced that the 19-year-old goalkeeper will go to Belgian side KAS Eupen on loan for the season Slonina had yet to feature for Chelsea in official action, but was part of the team during their summer preseason tour in the United States.
