Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 10 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Adnan Januzaj beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Evander was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Adrian Van Rumst comes home
The shirt still fits. Adrian Van Rumst is back at KAA Gent, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

No time for Club Brugge to settle
The goal that put Club Brugge ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when KAA Gent equalised, 1 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

No place for Benoît Costil in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Benoît Costil has his answer from KAA Gent; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
In brief
- The dugout Maxime Lestienne gets it from the manager
- The dugout Predrag Rajković gets picked when it counts
- Match Honours even between KAA Gent and Club Brugge
