Club corrects the crooked situation and wins top match against Genk
Both teams started hesitantly, but after ten minutes both Bruges and Genk created more chances. Mignolet immediately had to go to work after a shot by Hrosovsky while Skov Olsen did shake the nets. Jutgla served the Dane at his beck and call and goalkeeper Vandevoordt had no chance.
Less than ten minutes later, the roles were reversed and Genk was allowed to cheer. Munoz passed the ball from the right to Dessers, who was able to tap in just in time. At the end of the first half, the home team’s defense made a few mistakes, giving Genk too many free play.
Halfway through, the visitors had the best cards, but too often they collided with a strong Mignolet, who had to parry several attempts from Ito just before half time.
After the break, Genk was rewarded for his chances. Ito played the ball towards the freestanding Trésor, who gave the visitors the lead without any problems. Club Brugge clearly needed some time to find the right rhythm, but on the hour it was finally hit again.
Hans Vanaken came into the picture for the first time during the match and scored the equalizer. From then on, Club Brugge could control better, although Genk countered strongly several times.
Just before the whistle, in the 92nd minute, the home team received another penalty after Paintsil defended a little too hard against Mata. Cyle Larin was unable to convert the opportunity into a goal and missed, after which Skov Olsen reacted immediately and scored the 3-2 in the rebound against the nets.
