In a crucial match that could determine the path to the UEFA Champions League next season, Club Brugge, led by Croatian coach Ivan Leko, secured a dominant 5-0 victory over Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. This victory has given them a significant four-point lead over their main competitor, making a strong push towards securing the league title. Only two more matches remain in the Belgian league season.

The scoring spree for Brugge began in the 30th minute when Vanaken scored the first goal, followed by Seyes in the 37th minute and another Vanaken goal in injury time. Brugge continued to dominate throughout the match, culminating in a spectacular 5-0 victory, a result that could clinch the championship.

This is one of the biggest victories in Leko's coaching career. He took over the Belgian club in December 2025 when they were third on the table with 32 points. With two remaining matches against Mechelen and Gent, Leko, who previously coached Gent, could mathematically secure the Belgian league title with a victory against his former club.
