Champions cup group f, game 2

Club Brugge vs. Rangers (SCO)
Last meeting: Club Brugge - Rangers 3-1

Venue: Jan Breydelstadion: 29591

Weather: Dry, 10°C

You must remember last year's meeting between these two teams. Rangers won't have any good memories on these games as they lost twice with 3-1. "Rangers will overcome Club tonight" were Alex McLeish's, manager of the Gers, words before the game started. Björn's reply was simple but very clear. "We will prove that we weren't lucky last year." The first half was splitted up between the two teams, as Brugge took care of the first twenty while Rangers took the other twenty-five minutes. Brugge played very solid and like a team in the first twenty minutes, unlike Rangers. They faced even bigger problems when Casas opened the score after eight minutes. Rangers' dominance in the last twenty-five minutes wasn't as great as Brugge although De Boar was very close with a freekick attempt. In the second half the match could have gone either way but it stayed like it was until the last official minute of the game. However in injury time Van der Heyden played a great ball towards Guayre, who showed his class by placing the ball in the right top corner from a difficult angle. Now who said Brugge was lucky last year?

Top goalscorer: Guayre (11) - Bastiaensen (3)
Last meeting: Club Brugge - SV Roeselare 2-1

Venue: Jan Breydelstadion: 13766

Weather: Dry, 8°C

Roeselare came up last year along with Oostende and they have managed to stay up. Maybe they didn't have a great margin but at least they stayed up. So far this season they're in last position and have only won one game out of seven. The first half was pretty easy for Club Brugge as Roeselare didn't pose any threath. They let Brugge play how they wanted and all Roeselare did was clearing the ball. Because of this play, the game wasn't a beauty to watch and the openings minutes were really boring. When the nineteenth minute came Ceh tried an inswinging corner and it worked well as Kompany headed home his first ever goal for Brugge. Brugge became confident and spreaded the ball superbly over the pitch. Roeselare didn't knew what hit them first as they were totally outclassed. Despite playing in such a great way, Brugge didn't found the way to the net easily and they had to wait until the last minute of the first half to double their lead. Englebert played a long ball to Guayre, who beated his marker before he fired in the 2-0. In the second half Brugge tried a quick attack and it resulted in a goal for Casas. The few fans that travelled with Roeselare to this stadion were leaving already. They didn't miss much as Brugge shifted down a gear and the match just ran out it's time with a clear winner in this game.

This is always a special match for both team as they want to proove to their fans that they're better then their neighbours. In the past two years it was mostly the Club fans who knew that their team was better, in fact the last game was the only game of the four that they've lost, so there will be a big question on everyone's lips. Were Cercle lucky last year? Or are they just better then us? This game will also alow former Club Brugge player, Tim Smolders, prove that it was a stupid decision to let him go. The game started on a high tempo and it was the "home" team that took the best start. Labun opened the score for them with ten minutes gone on the clock. The rest of the first half saw a lot of chances for both teams but neither of them could score. In the second half it was the same scenario, only this time the goalkeepers conceded some goals. First it was Kompany who scored his second goal of the season as Van Der Heyden flicked the ball up to him in the area. The score was level again and both teams had the chance to take the lead. With fifteen minutes left on the clock it was Thompson, who scored to give Cercle a one goal lead. Five minutes later though Guayrechipped the ball into the area from the left. Aghahowa headed the ball towards goal and a little deflection of a defender made sure the keeper was on the wrong foot and the ball ended in the back of the net. The game was level once again and there were over ten minutes left to play. When Englebert played the ball to Casas and he, on his turn, dribbled past his marker and fired in the goal, there were mixed reactions in the stands. Some were cheering while others where yelling boo, but nevertheless Club won the derby, wether they were lucky or not.

Since Björn arrived at Brugge, both teams faced each other four times and Anderlecht never managed to win against "the blue army". Two wins for Brugge and two draw are the statistics. Although we must say that Anderlecht got off to their best start in this third season so maybe today is their day to win against Brugge. Anderlecht started with a defensive kind of 4-4-2 while Brugge chose for the more attacking kind of 4-4-2. The game got off on a very high tempo with the home team controlling very well. After six minutes Kallstrom played a great long ball towards Casas, who was free of the last defender. He chipped the ball over de Vlieger to open the score. It was a fantastic goal and a fantastic start for the current champions. Another six minutes later Aghahowa played a long ball to Guayre, who headed it on towards Kallstrom. He rounded the keeper before he putted the ball into the back of the net. Anderlecht were playing weak and in the 17th minute Brugge added a third trough Casas as Anderlecht made one defensive error after another. The fans didn't believe their own eyes as the game was played after only seventeen minutes. On 24 Ceh crossed the ball into the area from the left and Guayre was there to head in the fourth goal. And still it wasn't done as seven minutes before the end of the first half Kolar played a very weak backpass to the keeper, which was intercepted by Aghahowa and he was unable to miss the ball as he putted the forfait score onto the scoreboard. In the injury time of the second half Aghahowa scored another goal when Diogo played a great ball towards him. He dribbled past his arker on the right wing before he struck the ball into the topcorner from a very difficult angle. The second half wasn't such a beauty to watch as Anderlecht lost their self-confident a long way back in the game and Brugge were taking it easy. Still they scored one more time trough Casas as he completed his hat-trick, with Guayre being the one who gave the final pass. And so the game ended as Brugge played their best game ever against their greatest rivals. Never had the fans seen anything like that in their whole life.

(SPA) Betis vs. Club Brugge
Last meeting: -

Venue: Manuel Ruiz de Lopera: 38502

Weather: Dry, 14°C

Never ever have these two teams met each other so it's hard to tell what we can expect from this game. Betis ended 4th last year in Spain's La Liga and on this moment they're in tenth position. Club Brugge will perhaps feel very confident after their last game, where they trashed Anderlecht with 7-0. We will see what this game will bring us. The first half was a pleasure to watch as both teams created a fairly amount of chances. Brugge looked very confident and that resulted in a goal in the eleventh minute when Casas opened the score. Nine minutes later Betis were unlucky twice as Varela fouled Ceh in the area and the referee placed the ball on the spot. Guayre stepped up, but his penalty was saved only to tip the ball in in the rebound effort. Twelve minutes later Brugge showed how they reached the semi-finals last year as a superb team move was finished off by Kallstrom as the ball went in off the post. In the second half Betis were the better side as they pushed forward and played some nice football. Capi's freekick effort ended on the post as Betis didn't have lady luck on their side. With twenty minutes left to played Betis were in more trouble as Melchiot was sent off with his second yellow card of the game. After that the game didn't offered much and Brugge took the three points with them to Belgium.

Last meeting: Antwerp - Club Brugge 1-0

Venue: Bosuil, Antwerp: 16261

Last year Antwerp managed to win for the first time against Club Brugge in two years. The statistics points out that Antwerp are finding it hard to score against Brugge, while Club seems to find the net rather easily. I wonder how it will be today. When the referee whistled to start the game Casas passed the ball to Guayre and he dribbled the whole half of the pitch before he scored. It was an amazing game and never ever had Björn seen this before. Antwerp were schocked and were only prevented from being slaughtered because of their goallie. In the twenty-fifth minute Casas dribbled himself to the byline before he centred the ball into the area. Guayre dived onto the ball and scored with a diving header. This was really his game. But this time Antwerp weren't really afraid as they pulled one back two minutes later trough Defays. It was only their first chance of the game, but they finished it in style. The second half brought the same scenario, Brugge were dominating and Antwerp were trying their best not to be slaughtered. Ten minutes from the end of the game Aghahowa picked up his goal as Kutuzov served him. Two minutes later Guayre scored his third and Brugge's fourth and final goal of the game. Brugge are really gaining a momentum, but you all remember last season I think? Where they had 20 points lead that were reduced to 5 points lead in a moment. So don't overrate them.

Both teams have met each other five times and the last meeting was the first time that Genk managed to get a point against Brugge. The other four games were always won by Club. The statistics also show us that the game is very even with the scoreline, so we can expect a tight game this evening. The first half didn't offer much as both teams looked very nervous. The chances that were created vame from Brugge but they failed to finish of their chances. In the 33rd minute Mokoena pushed Casas in the area and the referee pointed at the spot. It was Clement who kept his nerves and blasted the ball past the goallie to give us the lead. The second half was also dominated by the home team, but still they needed to much chances to score. Fifteen minutes before the end of the game Guayre doubled the lead with a nice action and shot. But Genk pulled a goal back three minutes before the end of the game trough Oostvogels to make it thrilling minutes until the last minute. The game ended in a victory for the home team, but if they play like this in the Champions League, then it could be that they lose rather soon then late.
