Although the deficit in fourth place is still five points, AA Gent is fully involved for a place in the Champions’ Play-Off. The Buffalos are in top form and have already won their last three competition matches. On Wednesday evening, Seraing was also beaten with clear 4-0 figures.
Ghent was able to impress again on its own field, especially the first half was of a high level. The home team also had several outstanding players. Including Matisse Samoise. The Ghent youth product even scored a goal and is showing itself to be an increasingly important pawn within the team of coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck. But the match against Eupen did have a sour aftertaste for him.
After all, due to a schwalbe, Samoise took his fifth yellow card of the season and so he will be suspended against Standard next weekend. “It was a schwalbe and that was too obvious,” he said on the club’s website. “It’s a good lesson. I should have handed the ball over to Tarik instead of looking for the ground. I can only learn from this. That I now have to watch the suspension against Standard is sour.”
BUSY SCHEDULE
Due to his suspension, Samoise can take some rest on Sunday and that is not an unnecessary luxury. After all, Ghent faces a very busy program, which will soon include cup and European football. “We have 8 games in 25 days ahead of us. So we are going to work hard in three competitions. Not every match will go as smoothly as today. There will be matches where we will have to fight for 90 minutes. no question,” said Sven Kums.
