Bertrix 0-2 Oudenaarde
Stade Jules Guillaume
9 April 2012
Football at Altitude
At 420m above sea level it's not exactly the Alps, but it's pretty high for Belgium. My 84th Belgian ground and, with Charleroi being as far south as I have ventured for the previous 83, Bertrix represented my first game in the province of Luxembourg.
Conditions we poor and the rain confined us, and the vast majority of the crowd, to the one stand in this community athletics stadium. The pitch was also in poor condition, but this didn't stop the teams serving up an entertaining game that was only settled in the 93rd minute when the visitors got their second goal.
