Club Brugge takes a crucial win in top match against Union

In the standings, Club Brugge comes next to Union with 43 points. In a tie, Blauw-Zwart has the advantage, because after the regular competition and the halving of the points, the Union’s total was rounded up and that of Club Brugge was not. The game immediately started at a high pace and especially the home team showed themselves threatening. Club Brugge goalkeeper Mignolet soon had to keep Lapoussin and Teuma from a goal. Dante Vanzeir aimed wide. Club Brugge had a lot of ball possession, but failed to create opportunities. At the end of the first half, Noa Lang was still dangerous, but the Dutchman did not find striker Adamyan in front of goal.

Club had their first chance in the second half. Nsoki saw his volley go wide. Union also kept pushing and received a penalty ten minutes after the break after a (slight) foul by Mechele on Lazare. Vanzeir went behind the ball but kicked the eleven meter wide. Club escaped and Mignolet also had to parry a flame from Teuma moments later. The team from Brussels missed the chances and on the other side the goal came fifteen minutes before the end. Substitute Skov Olsen found Hans Vanaken in front of goal and the two-time Golden Shoe nodded, 0-1. Union was off the map for a while and Moris still had to unpack with a nice parade on a shot by Skov Olsen. In the end, Union gave it all. Goalkeeper Anthony Moris went forward and Club managed to score a second time on the counter. The barely seventeen-year-old Antonio Nusa was able to capture the 0-2 final score in front of an empty goal.
