The end of the season will be breathtaking in the race for the title, while for Genk a long way of the cross is announced.
Club Brugge players and staff may say that they don’t look at what the Union achieves on their side, the fact is that as soon as Mazzù players lose their feathers, the Bruggeois are under pressure to continue to make up for their delay. This Sunday, to receive Genk, the little moral plus of the leader’s draw once morest Ostend is present, unlike Noa Lang who is still on the bench since Schreuder has lined up the same starting lineup as during the trip to Ostend.
From the outset, Club will take advantage of Limburg’s defensive largesse from set pieces. No one holds Rits who can hit, Vanaken deflects and opens the scoring (4′, 1-0). But we feel that this goal, instead of launching the defending champion correctly this Sunday, puts everyone in a false rhythm and Vandevoordt is no longer really under pressure. What had to happen happened: just before the break, Ito walks around and strikes with a left. The ball is not very powerful, but it is precise and deceives Mignolet (39′, 1-1).
The break was good for Club as De Ketelaere once once more only needed a few minutes to place a winning header to restore the advantage to his team (49′, 2-1). In the course of this second period, and well before the waltz of the changes, there is a new turning point: Rits goes towards the goal, sadik mows him down in the middle of the race: red card for the Limburger (64 ‘). However, Ito and Paintsil have the opportunity to restore the equality, without success.
At the dawn of the last quarter of an hour, it was a tenacious Adamyan, well helped by Rits, who planted the third goal while the Storck defense failed to clear him (76′, 3-1). It’s over in everyone’s mind, as Noa Lang enters the game for a minor mode endgame.
In the end, Club Brugge won and returned to 5 points from the Union two days before the end of the regular season. Like what, more than ever, the suspense is and will be tenacious at the end of the season for the title of champion.
