This time it all turned out in Deila’s favor, after the Norwegian was previously accused of closing things down when Bruges had a lead. What’s more: not much later, Denis Odoi, who had surprisingly been given a starting place, headed the double lead onto the board. In the end, Andreas Skov Olsen put the 0-3 final score on the board from the spot.

A few weeks ago it sounded that blue-black would be Union’s main challenger in the title battle.
