Sawaneh fire blank as Leuven fall

Ibou Sawaneh

Gambia international striker Ibou Sawaneh was once again kept off the score sheet as Club Brugge came from behind to beat his side, OH Leuven 3-1 at the Jan Breydelstadion.

Karel Geraerts opened the scoring for Leuven on 50 minutes before goals from Maxime Lestienne and Lior Refaelov in the 62nd and 66th minutes respectively turned the game in Brugge’s favour.

The game was sealed seven minutes from time through Ivan Tričkovski, who was setup by former Chelsea and Barcelona forward Eidur Gudjohnsen’s through ball.

Sawaneh’s Leuven hosts relegation-threatened Beerschot next at the Stadion Den Dreef in Heverlee.
