Club could not win its 350th European match after getting the lid on its nose in the closing minutes. So it ended up 1-1 and nobody was happy about that afterwards, least of all Maxim De Cuyper...
"That it still ended up 1-1 is super frustrating," were the first words of Bruges' number 55. "If you look at the whole game, we had enough chances to finish it off. We gave almost nothing away in those 95 minutes, but still it ended up 1-1. That's how it goes sometimes in soccer, but it is and remains very frustrating. I'm sure that if you play that match ten times, nine out of ten times you will win it, but today was the one time you didn't win it and that is just as sour. Nevertheless, I think we played a good match. We obviously lacked the luck to score today. The form of the day? Who knows? Of course, we didn't care about shooting the ball just wide of the goal or right at the goalkeeper. It was clearly not in terms of efficiency tonight and I would say on to Sunday, because another top game awaits us there. Mentally we have to get over this result as quickly as possible. Tomorrow we will probably talk about this draw again to make us forget it and then everything towards the move to Anderlecht." (FDC)
