Ostend beat FC Bruges at the start of the 28th day of the Pro League 3-0! The Côtiers win three precious points in the race to maintain while the Bruges are once more getting into trouble at the top of the classification. The two Ostend goals were scored by Thierry Ambrose on a penalty in two stages (44th) and by Cameron McGeehan in the 58th minute. A nice goal Hans Vanaken was then logically canceled for an offside. David has started gave the score its final look in extra time.
If the result is disturbing, so is the manner. The Bruges defeat is collective and all the players were struggling in this meeting. The chemistry is clearly not there. Scott Parker still does not seem to know exactly what to do with his players or they do not understand the intentions of their coach who seems, more than ever, to be on an ejection seat.
At the end of the match, the Bruges supporters expressed their dissatisfaction to the players, this heavy defeat on the coast will be difficult to digest. We might see in particular Simon Mignolet trying to dialogue with the fans, just like Hans Vanaken. Everything happened peacefully.
Ghent will have the opportunity to get closer to fourth place in Bruges if they beat Anderlecht on Sunday. Brugge must remobilize at lightning speed before the return match once morest Benfica.
Ostend, author of a good performance, is approaching three units from Eupen, the first non-relegation team which must still play this weekend.
