Man of the match
Lee Han-beom made a good impression in his competitive debut with a crucial tackle after Sommer made a mistake and showed himself to be defensively flawless. With that, he also had an intervention that led to a goal as the icing on the cake.
Key moment
After a blazing start, the game slowed down on Jan Breydel. KV Kortrijk remained a threat on the counter while Club dominated without being really threatening. Until Ilic solved the shot from Seys, Vetlesen followed up well and the game changed in appearance.
Notable
It could have gone either way. After a five-minute thick, Dejaegere dropped a dangerous ball into the back of the Bruges defense, where the experienced Sommer also made a wrong position choice. Koyalipou could round him and seemed to be going to score. Until one man came back. "Lee, Lee, Lee."
