Club takes six out of six after hard-fought victory in Dender

Second half

After the break, Club immediately put pressure on. Skov Olsen almost immediately gave a dangerous cross to Tzolis, but Verrips just managed to touch the ball. Club remained dangerous, with Skov Olsen shooting hard over from the right flank on the hour. Shortly afterwards, Mignolet had to take action again on a long-range shot from Viltard.

Fifteen minutes before the end, Nicky Hayen made three substitutions: Vermant, Siquet and Jutglà came in. Dender had another great chance when Nsimba shot from close range just in front of goal, but Mignolet made a great save.

Just before time, Romero came in for Skov Olsen. Dender still looked for the equalizer, but Club’s defense held firm. In extra time, Romero made a mistake that allowed Hens to cross. Soladio looked set to score, but Ordóñez saved on the line. Club held firm and thus took the three points home.
