At Bruges, the birthday boy Nicky Hayen knows that things should be better. His team immediately starts the second half. Sandra lets the ball run so that Vanaken can lead, but Tresoldi just can’t lag. Nevertheless, they have to keep paying attention to Blauw-Zwart: Spileers heads back too LAKS on Jackers who can only just tap.

And the visitors keep pushing. Sandra can shoot the ball full on goal and meets the post, after which Mechele also puts the defense to work. The 0-1 hangs in the air. In the added time, it is ultimately the 20-year-old substitute Shandre Campbell, who is wonderfully wonderful in the upper corner.

For example, Blauw-Zwart returns home with three points in his pocket, thanks to a wonderful goal from substitute Campbell. A birthday present for coach Nicky Hayen, who can breathe relieved.
