Clinton Mata was able to chalk up another assist today. Just after halftime, the defender painted the leather onto the head of Charles de Ketelaere, who headed in the 2-1. Club did not relinquish it after that.
"We can be satisfied. We started well, but Genk came back into the match quickly. In the second half we put the details right, so it became a deserved win. We left little to the opponent. We played offensively, with speed up front and the block was high. We were not afraid to play man-to-man in the back. We played a good open match. If the opponent allows me space, I can go higher in the second half at times. That was the case today."
Meanwhile, the difference with Leader Union is only five points. "We've been saying it for weeks, the championship is not over yet. We're taking it one step at a time. We talk on the field and keep the focus on our games. We'll see how it turns out in the Champions' playoffs." (KN)
