After ten minutes, Jorne Spileers put Club on track for a big win against the Icelanders from KA Akureyri.

"It's my very first goal for Club Brugge and of course this feels particularly good. But let me be honest : with a good goalkeeper my shot never goes in," the young central defender said in a first reaction. "We had often practiced on such phases in recent days and the coach indicated to go for my own chance when the opportunity arose. Although it was not made difficult for me because after the lay-off there was no pressure at all because of the visitors. But actually I am maybe even more happy for Roman Yaremchuk who was able to score tonight for the first time in a long time. That boy deserves it because he has always continued to work very hard. Hopefully he can draw the necessary confidence from this and left for more goals."

Spileers also had a clear answer ready about the match itself. "I don't think we delivered a top game and at a 4-0 halftime score you might start playing a little too relaxed which meant we still had to swallow an avoidable goal. But in itself next week's return game should be a formality." (MV)
