The Bruges side won 2-1 in Eindhoven on Wednesday night and have 9 points after four matchdays, good for ninth place.
Club Brugge won 2-1 at PSV on Wednesday night on the fourth matchday of the Champions League. Nicolò Tresoldi headed the visitors in front after 25 minutes from a Joaquin Seys delivery. Kodai Sano equalised in the 54th minute with a shot that went in off Seys, Voetbalkrant reports. Carlos Forbs settled the game with just under half an hour left after a quick counter-attack started by Seys.
Goalkeeper Yann Sommer was Club's standout performer, according to Sporza and Voetbalkrant. He denied Sergiño Dest a clear chance in the opening minutes and kept the Dutch side out again in the closing stages. Félix Lemaréchal hit the bar for Brugge after the break, and according to NOS PSV wasted several big chances. NOS also reports that PSV's Ivan Perišić clashed heads with a Brugge player before half-time, after which both played on with bandages.
After a defeat on the opening matchday, Club have now won three in a row. With 9 points from four games, Ivan Leko's side are ninth in the league phase table, according to Sporza and Voetbalkrant. Sporza calls a place in the next round all but certain. PSV remain on 4 points, NOS reports.
