Bruges won (3-0) against Mechelen without forcing his talent. A clear and flawless victory which erases the heavy defeat at Standard.
A few days before an important match in the Champions League, the people of Bruges host Mechelen. Determined to preserve a few executives, Carl Hoefkens changed his starting XI somewhat. In addition to Boyata, who was slightly injured, the local mentor among others caused Balanta, Yaremchuk and Olsen to breathe. It is therefore up to this somewhat unusual formation to quickly find its marks. Opposite is Steven Defour who leads the Mechelen in the absence of Danny Buijs for suspension.
If the start of the match is timid, it is indeed the Blue and Black who will put their foot on the ball. Over the minutes, the reigning Belgian champions are gaining ground. A domination that will be reflected in the figures. Following a fine construction in Bruges, judge (37′) has plenty of time to arm a heavy strike that Coucke can only deflect into his net.
