 Post-Match Reactions from Club Brugge's Victory

After securing a win against KAA Gent in the Croky Cup quarterfinal, we gathered insights from Hans Vanaken, Simon Mignolet, and coach Ronny Deila.

Simon Mignolet: "Thrilled to Reach the Semifinals"

Club advanced to the Croky Cup semifinals, edging out AA Gent by converting their sole opportunity in the game. Despite a lackluster second half, goalkeeper Mignolet expressed contentment with the achieved result.

"In the end, there were a few heated moments in front of our goal," shared the Bruges goalkeeper. "But tonight, I didn't have much else to do besides handling a few high crosses. We played a good game with high intensity right from the start, which was crucial against Gent. It's not easy in a match like this, post-winter break, but I'm thrilled that we're in the semifinals. The qualification is what matters most."

Hans Vanaken: "A Solid Victory"

Captain Vanaken, beaming with satisfaction, reflected on the hard-fought quarterfinal against AA Gent.

"We started well. Knowing they usually come out strong, this time, we were the ones dictating the tempo," remarked the captain. "Scoring in that positive period was crucial. Although our second half wasn't impressive, we'll analyze the match. They turned it into a real cup game, but we should have prevented that by scoring a second goal."

Ronny Deila: "Difficult Match, but Glad to Progress"

Coach Deila, pleased with the victory, acknowledged the challenging nature of the game.

"It was a tough and balanced match," began the coach. "In the first 25 minutes, we were the better team, scoring a deserved goal. After that, we lost momentum, and Gent gained control. Despite some struggles, we maintained a solid defense and secured another clean sheet. It wasn't the prettiest win, but I'm delighted to advance in the cup."

In summary, Club Brugge celebrates their victory in the quarterfinals, acknowledging the challenges faced and looking forward to the upcoming semifinal clash.
