Philip Zinckernagel opened the score with a timely header on a Maxim De Cuyper cross, paving the path of the 7-1 victory against RWDM.
"We played well today, despite some tiredness from Thursday's game and the travelling. It shows this team has a lot of quality. In the first half we could have been more accurate in our passing, especially against an agressive playing RWDM who are not at all that bad. If you play in their cards in midfield, then they are out to hurt you. But in the end we proved the better side and the goals in the second half killed the game. It wasn't an easy start, but it was an easy win. The coach had instructed us to go out on the pitch and enjoy ourselves, without forgetting about the balance between attacking and defending."
It's been quite the start for Zinckernagel at Blauw-Zwart. "I am thrilled to be here. Playing together with so many good players makes it easier for me to score goals. De Cuyper's cross was perfectly timed, especially because it was only my second headed goal in two years time." (KN)
