Club lost 3-1 to leaders Racing Genk, but if Club had been more efficient with their chances, the end result could have been very different. This was not lost on Hans Vanaken either.

Hans Vanaken: "Efficiency was not good enough today"
"There was much more in it here today than this 3-1 defeat," Hans Vanaken spoke afterwards. "And especially when you see that we got a giant chance to take the lead at 1-1, but we let it slip. Then of course you make it difficult for yourself. At the other end Genk did score the 2-1, but it wasn't over yet. We also had an excellent chance to make it 2-2, but we missed again. The efficiency was just not good enough today. At that chance for 2-2, the newly entered Mats Rits still put the ball aside to Yaremchuk, which I think was very well done by Mats, but he then kicks that great chance wide..."
"Despite the short period of time we've had to work with our new coach Scott Parker, it's clear where he wants to go with this group of players. Both defensively and offensively, he was already putting different touches and you could see them per moments today, I thought. We're definitely going to take steps forward in the next few weeks, I'm firmly convinced of that." (FDC)
