Club Brugge secured a 1-2 victory away against PSV on Wednesday to claim their third win in the Champions League group stage, Voetbal24.be reported.
The Belgian visitors collected nine points from four matches in the European campaign. Blauw-zwart previously earned victories against Inter and Lens before taking the scalp of PSV in Eindhoven, according to Het Nieuwsblad.
Félix Lemaréchal entered the match during the 36th minute after Jan Virgili left the pitch due to injury. Manager Ivan Leko deployed Lemaréchal on the unfamiliar left flank, where the midfielder struggled to contain PSV’s attacking pressure.
Het Laatste Nieuws awarded Lemaréchal a five out of ten rating for his substitute appearance. The newspaper noted that his performance declined as the match progressed, describing how he fell in excellently, but had an increasingly difficult time
and was not used to defending on the flank.
Het Nieuwsblad also handed a five out of ten rating to Hugo Vetlesen and the injured Jan Virgili. The publication observed that Vetlesen was often useful in combinations, with clever infiltrations as well, but could never really become dangerous,
while noting that Virgili left Dest running multiple times
before his substitution.
Meanwhile, right-back Kyriani Sabbe and central defender Jorne Spileers received rating scores of six out of ten from Het Nieuwsblad for holding their ground against opponents such as Ruben van Bommel and Ivan Perisic.
Club Brugge returns to domestic competition with a match against Anderlecht. Lemaréchal is expected to deputize for the suspended Freddie Potts during the fixture.
