Club plays draw against Knokke in first pre-season friendly

Club started the first game of the season with numerous Club NXT players, along with the more experienced players such as Zinckernagel, Boyata and captain Nielsen.

First half: De Corte, De Roeve, Yameogo, Boyata, Seys, Goemaere, Nielsen, Zinckernagel, Talbi, Vermant and Barberá

The match got off to a slow start, but Blauw-Zwart increasingly played their way into the match. Vermant was close on two occasions shortly before halftime. The first time the Knokke goalkeeper Goblet was standing firm, the second time the ball flew just over, after a fine individual action by Talbi.

Second Half

Club took the initiative and it was rewarded for it. After fifteen minutes well into the second half, Bisiwu was found by Lund Jensen, after which Bisiwu took the ball on the slipper: 0-1.

The home team countered with several counters. In the end, the Knokkeners were also awarded the prize. Fifteen minutes before time the equalizer was on the board. Lars Cooman lobbed the ball cleverly over Van Den Driessche.
