Ortwin De Wolf Returns to KV Mechelen Goal After Nine Months

Goalkeeper Ortwin De Wolf made his first appearance in goal for KV Mechelen after a nine‑month absence. He said he will not comment on whether he will stay at the club.

The comeback came in a match against Anderlecht played at Anderlecht's stadium. KV Mechelen needed a win to keep fourth place within reach.

A win would have secured the fourth spot and qualified the club for European competition. The stakes were high for the Mechelen side.

However, a late goal by the opposition turned the match around. The equaliser denied Mechelen the victory they required.

The late strike left the Mechelen players and fans disappointed. Their hopes of European football were postponed.

The result means KV Mechelen must now look to upcoming fixtures to regain the chance for a top‑four finish. The club will aim to restore its European ambitions in the next games.
