Substitute Kévin Denkey saves Cercle Brugge with a good win against poor KAA Gent

Cercle Brugge had suffered three defeats in a row in the Belgian championship and was last with just four points. That didn’t seem to bother Miron Muslic, as he put Kevin Denkey on the bed. The attacker has been out of form for some time.

The Association did not like the 2-4 win either KAA Gent a few days ago against neighbors Club Brugge. The home team started in earnest, the Buffalos again had a hard time in Jan Breydel.

There were no real chances in the first half. Cercle kicked between the posts once, Ghent not once. A logical 0-0 at half time, but already three yellow cards for Ghent. Cercle counted one.

Denkey saves Cercle with two goals

After the break, a good opportunity for Felipe Augusto. After a poor clearance from Torunarigha he was able to kick free, Roef reflexively kept the ball out of his goal. Ghent also had a good chance, Ito hit the crossbar, the ball bounced just before the goal line.

Twenty minutes before the end Denkey came between the lines, fifteen minutes before the end he broke the ban for Cercle. Denkey got in front of his man in the box and tapped in Nazinho’s cross, his first goal in a month for the Association.

Denkey made it 2-0 in extra time, Fatigue he made it 2-1 in the very final. Cercle’s second victory of the season was no longer in danger, but it is still at last. Ghent misses the chance to finish second alone.
