Antwerp Cercle Punishes Cercle Bruges in a Stunning Match
On Sunday, Antwerp Cercle showed their dominance in the Jupiler Pro League by defeating Cercle Bruges 3-0 during the 10th matchday at Bosuil. Goals from Gyrano Kerk, Tjaronn Chery, and Jacob Ondrejka allowed the Great Old to achieve their fourth consecutive victory and climb to the podium with 16 points, just one point behind Anderlecht and six behind Genk.
Cercle Bruges suffered their sixth defeat of the season and remains in the 15th and relegation position with only 8 points. The Antwerp team showcased incisive counter-attacks, almost scoring in the second minute when Vincent Janssen missed a one-on-one with goalkeeper Maxime Delanghe. Though Janssen was indirectly involved in the opening goal, Bruges defender Erick Nunes mishandled a pass that set up Kerk for an easy goal.
Just minutes later, Janssen's assist helped Chery net yet another goal, leading to a comfortable victory for Antwerp. The final nail in the coffin came from Ondrejka, who scored late in the game. In contrast, La Gantoise managed to secure a draw with Saint-Trond, sharing points with Omri Gandelman and Adriano Bertaccini both scoring. Antwerp, now part of the top teams, presents a thrilling narrative in the ongoing Jupiler Pro League season.
