Club Brugge remains in the lead in the Jupiler Pro League. The team of trainer Philippe Clement was 3-2 too strong for Beerschot VA on Sunday evening and is on eleven points after five match days. Bas Dost, coveted by Feyenoord, started on the bench, came in after an hour of play and had to be replaced by Daniel Perez injured just before the end. Noa Lang and Ruud Vormer were involved in the first two hits of the reigning national champion of Belgium.

In the fourth minute, Eder Balanta headed a corner kick from Vormer into the far corner: 1-0. Lang was at the base of the 2-0 after half an hour. After a pass from the attacker, Charles De Ketelaere passed goalkeeper Mike Vanhamel and the second goal was a fact. Ten minutes after the break, Tibo Persyn rammed the third goal against the ropes and that was also the decisive goal. The visit had to continue with ten men before the break after a second yellow card for Frédéric Frans, while Stanley N’Soki received his second yellow card with the home team fifteen minutes before the end.

Feyenoord thinks it can attract one more attacker before the transfer deadline this month and Dost’s name is on the list. Technical director Frank Arnesen and trainer Arne Slot ideally hope for an attacker who can handle all three positions in the vanguard. Dost can only play in the tip of the attack, not on the sides. “But Dost is on our list”, Arnesen told the fair on Saturday General Newspaper. “We’ll see what we can do.”
