The 31-year-old Hassan showed tremendous form and startled Bruges' defenders with his wizardry and created a number of chances for his teammates who couldn't find the net. Things changed in the 56th minute when Hassan darted down the left flank and sidestepped three defenders before sending a cross to the onrushing Tchite who nodded the ball home. The goal increased Tchite's goal tally to 5, leading the scorer's list in the Belgian league.
