Club Brugge has successfully completed its first European assignment. Aarhus was not a worthy opponent in the first leg of the 2nd qualifying round of the Conference League. Club was not tested and easily won 3-0. Next Thursday it should not get into trouble in Denmark thanks to the comfortable bonus.
Club Brugge – Aarhus in a nutshell:
Key moment: Already after ten minutes, Club Brugge dispels doubts. Tajon Buchanan takes the lead after a strong start to the match. A sledgehammer blow from which Aarhus can no longer recover.
Man of the match: Tajon Buchanan felt like a fish in water on his right flank. The Canadian showed his closest attacker Kristensen several times asterisks.
Remarkable: Two debutants scored points tonight: coach Ronny Deila and substitute Hugo Vetlesen. They both have Norwegian nationality.
Club Brugge immediately grabs Aarhus by the scruff of the neck
It must have felt a bit strange in the Jan Breydel Stadium. After years of being able to dig into the fat pots of the Champions League, Club Brugge had to get to work early on to enforce European football.
It has been since 2017 that blue-black still had to play European preliminary rounds. The assignment is therefore clear, but therefore not easy. Bringing six games to a successful conclusion and the group stage in the Conference League is a fact.
Then you better get off to a good start and Club got off to an excellent start. With two outliers on the right flank: Skov Olsen and Tajon Buchanan. The latter in particular felt clearly in his sas.
The Canadian almost immediately offered a great opportunity for Hans Vanaken, but the captain aimed at goalkeeper Hansen. Not much later it happened. After a nice action from Skov Olsen, Buchanan rammed the leather into the roof of the goal.
Vetlesen immediately scores on his debut
We were only ten minutes away. Club Brugge immediately took Aarhus GF by the scruff of the neck. Energetic, as coach Ronny Deila likes it. Nusa also wanted to score a goal after a deviation from Thiago. It was a bit of a search for the new blue-black striker, but the Brazilian did grow in the game.
What did Aarhus do in return? Virtually nothing. Simon Mignolet had a quiet evening and saw that Club also had an excellent start to the second act. After three minutes of playing, Mats Rits scored the 2-0 through a deviation.
Club was in control and steamed ahead. Thiago almost had his first goal, but his attempt ended on the crossbar. Vanaken’s rebound also did not hit the nets.
Ronny Deila would then open a can of fresh forces and one of them immediately noticed. Hugo Vetlesen was only on the field for a few minutes when he took the leather full on the slipper. Goalkeeper Hansen had no recourse against it. An excellent debut for the 23-year-old Norwegian.
After 90 minutes of playing football, the next round already seems to be a fact. Because against this Aarhus, Club Brugge can’t get into trouble anymore, can it? The Danish pig therefore seems to have already been washed.
De Cuyper: “The intention was to start quickly”
Maxim De Cuyper: “We created the necessary chances. Especially in the second half. In the first half it was a bit more difficult. The more matches we will play, the better it will go I think. The intention was to start sharply . I think we brought that intensity. That is also necessary against such a team. Otherwise you are behind the facts. If you go there with 3-0, it would be a shame if we were still there I think we should have the same game plan next week.”
Ronny Deila: “I am happy with the game and the result. My players worked hard, were disciplined and played well organized. Offensively it was also good. We have achieved a great performance. I am proud.”
