A one-man rearguard from Marko Ilić
There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Brecht Dejaegere was immovable
29 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Marko Ilić in a row with a teammate

Nobody could get near Ken Masui
Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

KV Kortrijk supporters have found a favourite in Lenn De Smet
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Lenn De Smet has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

No hiding place for Sixtus Ogbuehi
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sixtus Ogbuehi, and the manager let it.

Lenn De Smet the difference as KV Kortrijk beat Westerlo
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Lenn De Smet. 1‑0 against Westerlo, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Ricardo Alves falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The afternoon belonged to Boris Lambert
A mark of 7.99, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
