From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

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.

Player ratings

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.

Squad

Marko Ilić in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at KV Kortrijk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

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.

The terraces

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.

Squad

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.

Match

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.

Squad

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.

Player ratings

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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Mohamed Fofana damages knee ligaments — 19 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 19 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

7 matches without a win for KV Kortrijk

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around KV Kortrijk are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Marko Ilić keeps KV Kortrijk in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Robbe Keygnaert hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what KV Kortrijk can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Gilles Dewaele in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at KV Kortrijk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Louis Bracke gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Louis Bracke has just signed for KV Kortrijk, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings

Ken Masui runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

A bad afternoon for KV Kortrijk against Club Brugge

1‑2 to Club Brugge, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Boardroom

Wages eat 212% of everything KV Kortrijk earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

In brief
