Ecuadorian forward Kevin 'La Rola' Rodríguez made a triumphant return to the pitch after a two-month recovery, scoring a key goal in Union Saint-Gilloise's 2-0 victory over FCV Dender EH in the 29th round of the Jupiler Pro League. The match took place on March 14 at the Stade Joseph Marien in Brussels. The game's initial momentum came when Mateo Biondić opened the scoring for Union SG in the 59th minute, setting the stage for Rodríguez's impactful comeback.

Rodríguez entered the match in the 64th minute to replace Biondić and quickly proved his value to the team. Ten minutes later, in the 80th minute, he took advantage of a rebound off a Dender goalkeeper save to secure the second goal for Union SG, finalizing the scoreline at 2-0. This goal not only highlights Rodríguez's ability to return to form but also showcases his significance as a driving force in Union SG's offensive strategy this season.

With this latest goal, Rodríguez brought his total to 12 goals for the 2025/2026 season, reinforcing his stature within the team as they lead the league. His successful recuperation from a vertebral injury and his ability to contribute immediately upon his return are crucial for Union SG as they vie for the championship and aim to maintain their top position in the standings.
