Last Thursday, Club delivered its umpteenth lousy performance of the year in the Conference League against Molde and absolutely could not lose any points against OHL with a view to the Champions’ Play-offs. Ewoud Pletinckx made the Jan Breydel Stadium quiet on the hour mark by putting the visitors at 0-1 with a striking header. Ronny Deila made a doubtful grimace on the Bruges trainer’s bench, but received help from Tobe Leysen. The OHL keeper made a horrible mistake on a cross and let the equalizer fall through his gloves.
Just after the hour mark, blue and black put the match into the decisive fold. Hans Vanaken wonderfully curled in a free kick for the 2-1, and Bjorn Meijer immediately extended the score to 3-1. The match was over and not much happened anymore. A boost for Deila and co., who can breathe easier again.
