Club was unable to win its first practice match against Beerschot, sticking to a 1-1 draw.

Beerschot played smooth soccer in the first half and took the lead through Sanusi. Blauw-Zwart had no immediate answer to Beerschot's play and could hardly threaten. A rare chance by Vormer was stopped by Vanhamel. After half-time, we saw a completely renewed Club, while Beerschot only made the majority of personnel changes on the hour. It all paid off as Club kept control and could threaten much more. A number of chances were wrung down the neck, but in extremis Okereke erased Beerschot's lead. Final score 1-1, Club did not lose and at times showed great things.

Comments

Matej Mitrovic: "It feels good to be back on the pitch. Nice to start the season fit, last year was completely different unfortunately. I am happy and motivated to make something beautiful out of it this season."

Ibe Hautekiet: "I really enjoy experiencing the preparation with the first team. The pace is a pack higher than in 1B, but you get used to that."

Mats Rits: "In the second half we had started to play better soccer and we were able to translate that into a deserved equalizer."

Romeo Vermant: "We had started the second half much stronger than Beerschot and kept going like that. The equalizer fell late, but it was over-deserved."
