Jupiler Pro League (Belgium)
Royal Antwerp has lost for the sixth time in seven games in the Champions’ Play-Offs in the Jupiler Pro League. The team of coach Mark van Bommel, working on its last weeks in Antwerp, lost 1-2 to Club Brugge in its own Bosuil Stadium. The team of Norwegian coach Ronny Deila is at the top of the play-offs after six victories in a row, after finishing fourth in the regular season with 19 points less than Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
Vincent Janssen received a yellow card after just five seconds when he immediately delivered a double blow from the kick-off. It is the fastest yellow card ever in the Belgian competition.
Club Brugge took the lead shortly after half time. It was an unfortunate goal for the home team. A cross from Maxim de Cuyper ended up in the goal via the leg of Antwerp captain Toby Alderweireld.
After Gyrano Kerk – substituted for Jurgen Ekkelenkamp – did not see his cross converted into a goal, the score was 0-2 at the other end. Danish winger Andreas Skov Olsen cut down defender Soumaïla Coulibaly and shot into the left corner.
