10-3! Ghent has again beaten the Slovakian Zilina five goals. After the 5-1 in the first leg, Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s team again scored a new five-hit (2-5). Ghent will pass through to the next round of the Conference League without any problems.
Zilina – Ghent in a nutshell:
Man of the match: No Orban or Cuypers in the starting eleven today. So it was time for others to stand up. Enter: Andrew Hjulsager. The Dane was the engine and metronome of this KAA Gent against Zilina. When he got to the ball, the Slovaks’ knees invariably started to shake and tremble.
Key moment: Hugo Cuypers had also been a worthy MVP with two goals. The attacker from Ghent only needed two minutes to score the 0-2 in his substitution and thus lit the fuse of the animated second half.
Striking: Last year Hein Vanhaezebrouck invariably talked about the fact that his core was too small to compete at the highest level. Today the trainer rotated eagerly and was still able to bring a lot of quality between the lines.
Next round: The Polish team Pogon is Ghent’s next opponent in the Conference League campaign. The Poles won twice against the Northern Irish Linfield FC: 2-5 in the first leg, 3-2 in the return.
5-1 + 5-2 = 10-3.
Clear numbers for KAA Gent, which once again proved that it was a size too big for the Slovakian MSK Zilina in the Conference League. Even with five new names at the kick-off.
Last year Hein Vanhaezebrouck took every opportunity to point out that his core was too narrow, but was able to rotate eagerly today. And more importantly: still bringing quality between the lines.
In the absence of the royal couple Orban/Cuypers, Hjulsager and Tissoudali took over the baton flawlessly. The duo put a lot of pressure on the Slovak defense from minute 1, exposing their Achilles’ heel: the build-up.
After yet another mess by the Slovaks, star Hjulsager broke the spell after an excellent combination after half an hour.
The harbinger of the new massacre.
Hjulsager was the metronome and man of the match.
Tissoudali fared slightly less well at times. The dribble butt charmed with his activity and velvety technique, but scoring was so difficult.
Until substitute Cuypers – barely two minutes after his substitution – showed a good example. Because just like last week, Ghent waited for the second half to keep the goals carousel turning.
Three more goals were scored in just 10 minutes. Tissoudali was able – after a lot of misses – to make his liberating first goal and the industrious Gerkens also opened his account.
Adrian Kapralik and sniper Krisztian provided honor saver for the home team, but the damage was already done. Especially when Cuypers also scored his fourth goal in these Conference League matches from 25 meters.
10-3. Clearly.
The goal took a lot of pressure off Tissoudali.
