Champions Cup third qualifying phase first leg

Club Brugge vs. Kaunas
Last meeting: -

Venue: Darius ir Gireno sc: 10819

Weather: Strong Wind, 16°C

Club Brugge would be happy with nothing else then a win, so much was clear before the start of the game. The game got underway on a very low tempo with Kaunas looking like they would be happy to defend and search for a goal on the counter attack. Because of this, Brugge didn't have much room to create chances and when they did, they fired wide or their shot was saved. In the last minute of the first half it was Guayre who opened the score as he fired in Kallstrom's nice cross. Just after that goal Brugge stole the ball from Kaunas and played it up towards Ceh. He got to the byline before he crossed the ball into the area. Casas jumped higher then the rest and scored his first goal of the season with his head. After the restart Kaunas defended more then in the first half and Brugge started to relax and so the second half didn't have much to offer for the fans, but still the Brugge fans are almost sure that they will progress.

Both teams had met each other for the first time in the pre-season before this season. The game ended then in a 2-2 draw and Brugge didn't have it easy in that game. Now they had to face each other for the competition and the first half was, despite no goals were being scored, a pleasure to watch as both teams created a fairly amount of chances. In the second half it was the same thing, but this time, in the 52nd minute Kallstrom opened the score with a nice volley on Ceh's cross. It was his last important action of the game as a bit later he was injured. In the dying minutes of the game Kallstrom scored a second time, with Massaro being the one who gave the final pass.

Club Brugge vs. Kaunas
Last meeting: Kaunas - Club Brugge 0-2

Venue: Jan Breydelstadion: 15978

Weather: Dry, 8°C

Brugge were almost certain that they would qualify for the group phases as they won the first leg with 0-2. And so they didn't push forward at the start of the game, but all of a sudden they got a penalty as Aghahowa was fouled in the area. Clement stepped up and converted the penalty. Kaunas looked like they would be happy to end the game now, but they still had a long way to go. In the 39th minute Casas played the ball to Guayre, who needed two attempts to score. In the second half Brugge relaxed but still had some chances, which they failed to finish of course. And so Club Brugge easily qualified for the Group Phases.

If we look at the statistics of the past meetings of these two teams we expect Brugge to win, as they have met each other five times before and five times it was Club who won the game. Lokeren will look to score their fist goal against Brugge since Björn's arrival. When the first half was gone, it didn't looked like Lokeren would score as they didn't even created a single chance. Brugge totally outclassed them but found a magnificent playing Milojevic on their way. The second half started like the first one ended as Brugge kept up their dominance and Lokeren could do nothing else then clearing the ball. On 73 Kompany recieved his second yellow card of the game and he was sent away for an early shower. Lokeren took profit of this to get in the game but couldn't score and when Brugge started their slot offensive they knew it would be hard. First it was Englebert who scored and three minutes later, in injury time Casas added his goal to make sure the points stay at home.

Oostende came up to the First Division last year, where they achieved a nice 12th position. They haven't scored against Brugge and they will look to break that curse today. The game starts slowly and the first chance is for the visitors as Casas fires just inces wide. Twelve minutes later Aghahowa dribbles by two players before he chips the ball into the area where Guayre give his team the lead with a nice header. But three minutes later the score is level again as Vermast tips in the ball after Bizzarri saved his first attempt. In the second half both teams have some chances but it is Brugge who finishes them off as first Guayre fires in Ceh's cross and twenty minutes later Guayre complete his hat-trick as Casas isn't selfish and plays the ball up to him.

Last year both teams met each other in the second round of the Champions Cup were Brugge eliminated them. This year FC Bayern would be more then happy to take revenge. When the game reached half-time it looked like they would be able to do that, at least if they finish the chances they create. Brugge had the first chance of the game but the post denied Casas' long range effort. From then on it was all Bayern, but Bizzarri played a great game. Nine minutes after the restart Bayern took the lead trough Ballack, and it was more then deserved. Bayern weren't happy with only one goal and they kept pushing forward. Twelve minutes from the end of the game Santa Cruz doubled their lead and the game was played. Brugge, who played a mixed game took the last five minutes of the game for their credit and in injury time Kallstrom even scored a consolation goal when Englebert send him away.

Weather: Dry, 11°C

Club Brugge had the advantage in the past four games between them and Westerlo, but they didn't have it easy as they lost once, won twice and the other game ended in a draw. Westerlo got off to an amazing start as Jef Delen opened the score for them after only three minutes of football. They even stayed the best team during the next 20 minutes but couldn't extend their lead in that period. After that it was almost one-way football as Brugge started to control. But their game was sloppy as they only tried long distance effort. When a half of an hour was past Englebert played a shot/pass towards Casas, who nicked it in with his head. So the game was level and there were still sixty minutes to be played. In the first fifteen minutes nothing really happened, so the fans of both teams had still hope in a victory. Brugge got out of the dressingrooms as the better team and this resulted in some nice football at some moments. Van der Heyden played the ball to Ceh, who was on teh left wing, and he played it into the area where Guayre took the ball on his chest before he blazed it into the net. Brugge had taken the lead and got confident because of this while Westerlo got a mental knock. Three minutes later Aghahowa was pushed in the area by Nkokolo and the referee placed the ball on the spot. Vandendriessche, who replaced Kallstrom, stepped up and scored his first goal for Brugge. He's only 21 years old and has the time to develop. The game didn't offered anything after that and so Brugge kept the points at home while Westerlo still have to win their first game of the season.

Last meeting: Beveren - Club Brugge 1-3

Venue: Freethiel, Beveren: 13063

Weather: Dry, 8°C

Beveren is the team that made Brugge suffer their biggest defeat in their first season under Björn's management. They lost 0-3 then and they're looking to do even better tonight. But it didn't looked like they would be able to do that as Casas opened the score after four minutes. The lead didn't last long as two minutes later Yaya made things level again with his head. Beveren pushed forward and looked and found another goal trough Vleminckx six minutes after they scored the equaliser. Beveren had the lead and were the better team on that moment. It looked like Brugge woke up from that moment and they started to bring some nice football from then on. Although they were the better team from then on, they couldn't found the net and the 2-1 lead for Beveren was still on when the second half started. Club knew that they had to do something if they wanted to close the gap with the top of the league and they took the game in their hands. On 61 Guayre scored his tenth goal of the season to make things level again. Three minutes later Guayre had the 2-3 at his foot but it was pushed away by the goallie, little did he know that Casas was there to tip in the rebound. Brugge had taken the lead in three minutes and they were ready to hold on to that result. Guayre had two little chances at the end of the game, but he didn't score. Björn wasn't mad at him for that as he told us after the game that Guayre is playing very well and that he adapted himself very well here in Belgium.
