Shortly before the Topper’s half-time in Anderlecht and Bruges, Wesley Hoedt was very close to opening the scoring for the Mauves. A goal that would have undoubtedly made the rounds of the canvas. The Dutchman almost lobbed Simon Mignolet on a shot from more than 50 meters.
If the ball was well framed – which is already a feat at this distance – the Bruges goalkeeper, slightly advanced at the start of the shot, was still attentive and was able to push the ball back in extremis to prevent the opening goal.
