The last day of the Pro League is played this Thursday evening. Club Bruges won against Westerlo (4-3) in a meeting with many twists and turns.
Club Brugge was expected to turn the corner this Thursday. The Blauw en Zwart hosted KVC Westerlo, a team that saw itself ending the year by surprising a big name.
The Bruges coach, Nicky Hayenfound himself in a fairly unprecedented situation, with several injured at the full-back position. He then decided to take up tenure Kyriani Sabbe to the right, and Zaid Romero left.
The Blauw en Zwart first took the advantage very quickly in this meeting, via Andreas Skov Olsen (1-0, 5e). Christos Tzolisdefinitely the man of this first part of the season in Bruges, made it 2-0 just after the quarter of an hour.
But Westerlo came back into the match and reduced the gap via Griffin Yow in stoppage time of the first half. Luka Vuksovic even equalized in the 56th.
The return to the forefront of Hugo Siquet!
An unexpected actor would then emerge from his box: Hugo Siquet. Coming into the game in place of Romero, he put Bruges back in control (64th), but Alfie Devine equalized again (71st).
The last word will ultimately go to Bruges and Siquet, who will have to do it twice to convert a penalty first repelled by Van Langendonck (4-3, 90e+4).
A grand end to the year for the former Standard player, who was relegated to core B a few weeks ago, and for Bruges who finished the season in 2nd place, 1 point behind Genk.
