LIVE: Cercle Brugge grabs KV Kortrijk by the throat, Matondo hits the post |  Jupiler Pro League 2021/2022

Cercle Brugge and KV Kortrijk are mathematically still in the running for the top 8, but tonight it seems to be mainly about sporting honour. Cercle hopes to taste the victory again after two spectacular matches against KV Mechelen and Genk (each 2-2).

  1. first half, minute 22. How long can Kortrijk last? Cercle keeps on attacking, now it is Van der Bruggen who sees his corner shot disappear. †
  2. first half, minute 20. We’re watching one-way football right now. Johan De Caluwé on Radio 1.
  3. Matondo against the post! Bad luck for Cercle! Matondo is sent off excellently by Hotic, he cuts out two men and kicks towards the farthest corner. The post prevents the 1-0. † first half, minute 19.
  4. first half, minute 16. Kortrijk tries to get out of the pressure, but can’t put up a full-fledged attack. Cercle goalkeeper Warleson has not yet been in the picture. †
  5. first half, minute 7. Cercle insists. The home team continues to put pressure on Kortrijk, now with two header chances in quick succession. Both Matondo and Denkey miss the frame. †
  6. first half, minute 4. Hotic misses his shot. A long throw-in from Miangue falls to Hotic’s right after a few detours, and that is clearly his lesser foot. The shot bounces just wide. †
  7. first half, minute 3. Cercle takes the initiative in the opening phase and pushes Kortrijk back. Utkus takes his chance from afar, no problem for Ilic. †
  8. first half, minute 1. Kick-off. Here we go! Ref Nathan Verboomen whistles the match, the visitors kick off. †
  9. first half, minute 1 match started
  10. before the match, 6:30 pm. Before the match, a minute of silence will be held for two deceased Cercle supporters. †
  11. First leg: 0-2 for Cercle. Speaking of Thalhammer: the Austrian made his debut as Cercle coach with an away match against Kortrijk, tonight’s opponent. Green-black won the match in the Guldenspoor Stadium, thanks to two goals from tastemaker Rabbi Matondo. † in advance, 6 p.m. 03.
  12. before, 6:01 PM. No Thalhammer on the couch. Coach Dominik Thalhammer is not with the home team due to a corona infection. Assistant coach Jimmy De Wulf takes over the honours. †
  13. in advance, 6 p.m. Cercle will put a lot of pressure, and they are strong in the duels. It is up to us to provide an answer. Karim Belhocine.
  14. Statistics. Striking: it has been since November 2013 that Cercle Brugge was able to win at home against KV Kortrijk. In the 8 subsequent duels against Jan Breydel, Kortrijk won 6 times, 2 times there was a draw. † in advance, 5 p.m. 41.
  15. in advance, 5 p.m. 36. Return of Van der Bruggen. There is also one substitution to note with the home team: captain Van der Bruggen is present again after a day of suspension, as a result of which Vanhoutte moves on to the bench. Goalkeeper Didillon is still out with a broken finger, so Warleson remains between the posts. †
  16. before, 17h31. Palaversa back in the squad. KV Kortrijk was left empty-handed last week after a creditable match against Union due to a late winning goal by Undav. Belhocine kicks off almost the same team against Cercle. Palaversa is the only new name, today it is preferred over Badamosi. †
