Simon Mignolet had to intervene alertly several times in the second half to keep Charleroi from a third goal. Club then pulled the match definitively to itself with goals from Nusa and Jutglà.

"I'm very satisfied with the three points. We didn't start the match great. The first five minutes were for Charleroi and they get the lead there. We took over after that and brought our good game. We managed the equalizer, but get back an unfortunate goal. That changed the atmosphere, but we score again quickly. The second half was difficult, Charleroi played a good game. I had to grab a few balls at that point. I'm glad I was able to save those for the team, along with Brandon Mechele's save. In the end, we pull out the win. That's very important at a time like that to still find a way to get the three points in a difficult game. I am very satisfied with that, because that provides the resilience when something goes against us. I'm glad I was able to keep the zero on the board in the second half, they were positions where I kept my corner small. With the substitutes then we make the difference." (KN)
