Romeo Vermant came on the pitch in the final phase of the match against KV Mechelen. Club were already down a man by then and still had to work hard to get at least a draw.
“We should not blame ourselves. We dominated the first half and Mechelen had no chances. Only our efficiency could have been better, then we would have taken the lead before halftime. If you look at the first half in terms of chances and goal shots, we should have scored at least one goal. We had the match in our own hands, apart from a counterattack in the second half. But then you have that red card, of course, which makes it difficult to create anything yourself afterwards. You then mainly focus on defending what you have and you try to hold on to it. We had to work hard with one man less. We still had fifteen minutes to go and that means going full steam ahead, trying to keep everything closed. And try to exploit the counterattacks you still get. We weren't able to score anymore but we did hold the 1-1. That is positive." (KN)
