Sint-Truiden vs Club Brugge KV

Club Brugge KV came from behind to claim a crucial 2-1 win away at Sint-Truiden on April 11, in the Belgian Pro League Championship play-offs. The decisive shift came off the bench, as substitute Hugo Vetlesen completely changed the complexion of the match with a goal and a hand in the winning penalty. Ryotaro Ito had Sint-Truiden in front at the 22nd minute, capitalising on a struggling Club Brugge side that seemed destined to leave Stayen empty-handed once again. But Vetlesen levelled just three minutes into the second half (48'), then drew a handball from Vanwesemael in the box. Christos Tzolis coolly converted the penalty in the 80th minute, placing it precisely into the side netting for 2-1. The victory was all the sweeter for Club Brugge given that STVV had been unbeaten at Stayen against them for five years. The comeback keeps Club Brugge firmly in title contention, while Sint-Truiden now face a confidence test after conceding their long-standing home advantage in the play-offs.
