Blood, sweat, tears and two outstanding performances. Club Brugge survived a fair of chances against Charleroi thanks to a great Simon Mignolet and eventually broke the spell in the ultimate final thanks to a flashy Antonio Nusa. Blauw-zwart is heading towards Besiktas in the Conference League with a good feeling.
Club Brugge – Charleroi in a nutshell:
Key moment: Club Brugge is having a hard time with a brave Charleroi. But the contribution of Antionu Nusa turns out to be a golden move. The 18-year-old Norwegian sends a cross in the 87th minute that just flutters into the goal.
Man of the match: Simon Mignolet was there when needed. Especially in the second half, Club Brugge’s final team stood firm with three great saves from Dabbagh.
Remarkable: Club Brugge has already scored 18 times in six games. That is a nice average of three goals per match. No one does better in the Jupiler Pro League, not even with one more match under their belt.
Early cold shower for Club Brugge
Weren’t they fully awake yet? At Club Brugge they had completely missed their start against Charleroi. The Carolos already fired two warnings, but after a third time it was a hit. Guiagon, who started in the starting line-up for the first time, punished weak defending and brushed the ball in his net. Mignolet had no chance.
The positive thing about that early goal was that blue-black still had a whole match to put things right. Club Brugge then dominated and patiently looked for the equalizer. That came too.
Zorgane lost the ball once so that Andreas Skov Olsen got some space. You shouldn’t give that to the Dane because he set Thiago on his way to the 1-1. Already the Brazilian’s fourth goal.
But Bruges’ suffering was not over yet. Like a bolt from the blue, the score was 1-2. It was another debutant who scored a goal. Vetle Dragsnes saw his shot flutter into the goal off the back of Spileers. With the necessary portion of luck.
However, Club Brugge did not give up. A few minutes later the signs were back up again. Kyriani Sabbe, who replaced the injured Tajon Buchanan, delivered the perfect cross for Mechele. The defender nicely headed in the 2-2. It is also the third assist for Sabbe in his last three home games.
Substitute Nusa makes the difference
And then we were only 45 minutes away. Charleroi also showed a fierce performance at the start of the second half. Lesson not yet learned Club Brugge? Luckily for them, Simon Mignolet is there when he needs to be. Dabbagh fired several extremely dangerous shots three times. Mignolet repeatedly knocked those attempts out of his goal area.
High time to bring in Antonio Nusa, who is in top form, Ronny Deila must have thought. And the 18-year-old Norwegian also provided redemption. He sent his opponent into the woods and then delivered a cross that just fluttered in. No one touched the ball anymore. But what a week for Nusa who made his debut with the Norwegian national team with three assists and a goal in two games.
You think Charleroi against the canvas, but Felice Mazzu’s troops showed resilience. After a chance for Thiago, it was Heymans’ turn. He was on his way to the 3-3, but Mechele put a stop to that. On the goal line, the Bruges defender tipped the ball into a corner kick. On the counter it became 4-2 after a great individual action by Ferran Jutgla. It will be good for the Spanish striker after his injuries.
With another match postponed, Club Brugge is now at the top next to Ghent and Anderlecht with 13 points. They will still be in action on Sunday.
Nusa: “This is what you live for as a footballer”
Simon Mignolet (Club Brugge): “I am very satisfied with the three points. Our start was not really great. The first five minutes belonged to Charleroi and they also took the lead. In the second half I had to grab a few balls and I I am happy for the team that I was able to save those balls. It is very important to find a way to get the three points at such moments in a difficult match.”
Antonio Nusa (Club Brugge): “I am very happy. It was an exciting match today, but we had to win. I am happy that I can come in and make the difference. I am especially happy that we got the three points today .That was really important. That the fans are crazy about me? I just want to come in and help the team. But if the crowd helps me, then it’s easier to play football. It was a really crazy week. But for this you live like football player. I’m having fun now.”
Felice Mazzu (Charleroi): “We really showed great things. In the second half we created really big chances. Unfortunately for us, Mignolet stopped them. We were too nice with that third goal. We would like to apologize to the player who lies on the ground and that creates spaces. That’s why the cross comes. We still have to grow in that. But given our match, we don’t deserve to lose here.”
Ronny Deila (Club Brugge): “It was stressful, because we did not control this match. We started the match poorly and they quickly scored. Of course you have to chase something and we score the 1-1. We lost the momentum then again it became 1-2. In the second half they had some opportunities. Fortunately we had an incredibly strong Mignolet tonight. He saved us. Sometimes you have a tough day, but then it is important to still get the win “We have a bench that can make the difference and today the substitutes did it. I am very satisfied with that.” end, 10 pm 46. End. The crazy competition is now over. Charleroi had a number of chances in the second half. However, Mignolet stood firm and the leather entered on the other side. Nusa and Jutgla scored in the end. .
