Without forcing, the Club puts pressure on the Union

The Beerschot is already on vacation, direction the D1B. Club Brugge took the opportunity to secure three points without forcing.

Sometimes everything comes together to see a good game. A great atmosphere, two great ambitious teams, opportunities. But this Friday in Kiel, it is absolutely the opposite that the two teams have proposed.

Firstly, there were no supporters (Beerschot pays for the bad behavior of its fans during the Derby), which gives this meeting the air of a “Coronavirus” match. Then, we are not going to lie, Beerschot no longer seems concerned at all by this end of the championship since the descent of the team is recorded.

Finally, the people of Bruges so dominated the first period without ever being put in difficulty that we were treated to… a meeting worthy of a friendly game. A first goal canceled for an offside position, a header from Vanaken on the bar, a few saves from Lejoly (replacing Biebauw) in front of Skov Olsen before the Dane played the opposing defense to serve Lang for the opener (19′, 0-1). We can practically say that the hardest part is done for Schreuder’s players who walk around until the break.

After half-time, Bruges ensured an even quieter evening as Skov Olsen shot, Rits deflected trying to avoid the ball, which went into the net (47′, 0-2). It’s even quieter when Skov Olsen, again him, perfectly serves Vanaken who offers a caviar to De Ketelaere (52 ‘, 0-3). It looks difficult for the Rats.

Alfred Schreuder then decides to make some changes including the one we’ve been talking about all week: Jack Hendry. The latter celebrates this well by dragging his foot on Van Den Bergh. The penalty leaves no doubt and is converted by Shankland (67′, 1-3). In the aftermath, the people of Bruges concede a few chances but in the end, without forcing, therefore impose themselves in Kiel.

In the standings, Club Brugge is putting pressure on the Union by coming within two points of Felice Mazzù’s men who will travel to Sclessin this Sunday.
