Club Brugge KV vs Mechelen

Club Brugge turned Jan Breydel into a goal fest on Wednesday, demolishing KV Mechelen 6-1 in Championship Play-offs round 4. A stunning second-half blitz was the standout moment, as the hosts rattled in four goals in under 35 minutes. Hugo Vetlesen opened in the 4th minute, but Mory Konaté levelled for the visitors in the 10th. Any hope Mechelen harboured faded fast after the break: Aleksandar Stankovic (46'), Carlos Forbs (56'), and Nicolò Tresoldi (60') put Club Brugge firmly in control. Hans Vanaken made it five in the 78th minute, before Gora Diouf's red card in stoppage time handed Christos Tzolis a penalty to complete the rout. The victory proved timely — Union SG could only draw 0-0 with Gent the same evening, leaving Club Brugge just two points off the top. For KV Mechelen, it was another grim evening — just one point from their last 12 available.
