Joaquin Seys named Man of the Match in Club Brugge's 2-1 win over PSV

“I’ve always wanted one. Taking it home alongside the win gives a fantastic feeling,” Joaquin Seys said after being named Man of the Match in Club Brugge’s 2-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven, VoetbalNieuws.be reported. Seys, a Belgium international, was involved in both goals and collected the award after the Belgian champions moved up to ninth place in the Champions League Phase with a perfect nine points from three matches.

Club Brugge won 2-1 away at PSV, with Nicolo Tresoldi scoring for the visitors. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer kept the Belgian side in the game with several saves, but Seys was ultimately voted the standout performer of the match. The left-back gave two assists in Eindhoven — one with his left foot and one with his right — and his corner deliveries drew particular praise from VTM’s coverage.

Seys deflects praise to the team

Speaking to VTM after the match, Seys said being involved in both goals was enjoyable but not the priority. “It’s nice to be involved in the two goals, but that’s not the most important thing for me,” he said. He instead pointed to the result, telling VTM’s Gilles De Bilde: “That is the points. We’ve started our campaign really well. We knew they would take risks and we used the spaces well,” as quoted by Het Laatste Nieuws.

The win extended Club Brugge’s unbeaten run in the competition’s League Phase. After victories over Inter Milan and RC Lens earlier in the campaign, the Belgian champions added three more points against PSV, sitting ninth in the standings with nine points from nine.

A season of assists for the Belgium left-back

The 21-year-old has registered 11 assists across all competitions, a figure that has drawn attention for a left-back and placed him among the most creative players in his position. VTM’s match coverage asked the rhetorical question of whether there is anything Seys cannot do, citing his two-footed assists and his set-piece delivery.

Seys is already a regular in the Belgium national team squad, and his performances for Club Brugge have put him in contention for a starting spot with the Red Devils, according to VoetbalNieuws.be.
