Noa Lang has mixed feelings about his basic debut for Club Brugge. The attacker, who had already come in against Zenit Saint Petersburg and Standard Liège, was at the kick-off of the game with OH Leuven on Saturday. After a pushing error on Hans Vanaken, Lang made his first goal for the Bruggelingen from eleven meters. Rafael Romo guessed the intentions of the Dutchman, but was too late on his low bet in the left corner.

OH Leuven eventually won 2-1 and that was especially bitter for Lang, who aimed a ball at the post on the stroke of half time. That’s for Sporza ‘the key moment of the competition’. But perhaps that was even more true for a moment after the break. Lang got a second chance and then found Romo on his way. “An expensive miss, because a few minutes later the ball was in the basket on the other side. Xavier Mercier’s goal was wrongly disallowed for offside, but the VAR corrected the mistake: 2-1 for the home team. ”

I take responsibility for not killing this game, but wednesday we go againLang emphasizes on Instagram, also referring to the next Champions League match against Lazio. The newspapaer Lang gave out a seven, just like Vanaken and Krépin Diatta, and found the Dutch youth international to be the best man on the side of Club Brugge. “Left an eager impression with his first match in the starting line-up. Converted the penalty but should have done better with the two other chances he got. ”

The highest rating is for Romo: an eight. “In a recent past he was the second goalkeeper at OHL, but what a match the Venezuelan kept. One super save after another, he even almost got the penalty from Lang. Without him, OHL would never have won. ” The last news has the headline: ‘Anticlimax for Club Brugge: strong OH Leuven smears blue-black third league loss’.

The newspaper also pays attention to Lang’s misses. “The Dutchman almost made a second before half-time. Isolated for Romo, he pushed the ball against the far post. The first chance was also for Lang after the break. The attacker kicked Romo from close by, where he should have given Club the lead again. His immaturity came blue-black costly ”, referring to the 2-1 that fell not much later.
