FC Bruges, helped by the defensive largesse of KV Ostend, brought back three points from their very short trip by winning 1-3 at their neighbor on Saturday evening on behalf of the 31st day of D1A.
“We knew it would be a tricky game, it’s always difficult to come and play in Ostend. It’s a derby. We wanted to play 100% and be focused. We’re not going to lie to each other: Ostend gave some gifts in this game, but it must be stressed that it was due to pressing on our part. We push them to make mistakes. In the second half, I think we could do better in terms of possession of ball. These kind of games, you have to learn to kill them. By missing opportunities like these against top 6 teams, you add fear. Of course you retain the victory, we were rewarded for this one with the day off. We know the match against Genk will be next Sunday so it’s deserved.”has explained Clinton Mata at our microphone.
And the player from Bruges adds: “On Sunday, Anderlecht face Antwerp, one of the two teams will lose points. We remain calm, focused on our performances. We will meet during the play-offs. The Union? Congratulations to them, we can’t only congratulate them for what they achieve (smile). They deserve it…. but the championship is not over. There are still the play-offs, we will see what will happen. It may be difficult. great playoffs.”
With the success of this Saturday evening, Bruges returns to seven units of the Unionist leader. The indecision is therefore total.
