Immediately brought him back in. He still puts the ball in the far corner between all those players.” Lang struck in the 53rd minute of the top match against Anderlecht. The winger cut out Albert Sambi Lokonga, then turned away from Elias Cobbaut and put the ball in the far corner in a controlled manner. Unfortunately for the mercenary, it was not enough to give Bruges a victory in Brussels.
