Cercle Brugge satisfied with a draw after a red card: “Three more points and we will hibernate in Europe”

“This is a point won for us,” said Muslic. “Given the circumstances and that red card, 1 point was the highest possible.

We did an excellent job defensively. The first half was not our best and we did not reach our usual level. Due to Kévin Denkey’s second yellow card, we had to make some tactical adjustments, but that went well. It was foreseen that we would replace Utkus, because he has recently returned from injury. But at halftime we all said that we could do this with ten men. We have proven that and have done so in the past. We have to be honest, one point with ten men against a strong team like LASK is fine and was the highest possible today. We have 4 points and if we get three more and win one more time, we can hibernate in Europe. And winning again in front of your own audience and with their support should certainly be possible. Today they were also here with almost 500 people, which is great.” (kv)
