"We have made it hard on ourselves", Mats Rits said in his post-match interview. "I don't think I exagerate if we should have scored at least two more goals at half-time. The game should have been dead by then. Now it was just the 1-goal lead, which means anything can still happen after the break. Mechelen had a solid game plan with a lot of high pressure. It's never easy to face an opponent who does that, but I think we did well to take advantage of the space we were given to create chances."
It was the eight league win in a row for the blue and black. "Eight consecutive wins is good for the moral, obviously. We'll have to see how big the gap is with Union. I just heard the disciplinary committee will decide what will happen after the game was stopped early. But, to be fair, I don't think it will matter too much whether it's 2 or 3 points that we are behind. We'll try our best to win the league title again, but naturally it will not be easy." (FDC)
