Great weekend for Club Brugge. They won, Anderlecht drawed (just barely!) and Standard lost.

Zulte-Waregem only exists for it's second year now. Two seasons ago the clubs Zulte & Waregem had a fusion into 1 team. In their first year (last season) they immediately took first place in the second division.
The reason why they play so well is because they maintain one system. They always play in the same formation, with the same players. Nearly all players are semi-professionals. This means that during the week they have a normal job, they train in the evening and play matches during the weekends. They're all very determined. No superstars, no cocky bastards. But all hard working players and coaches with a lot of heart and passion for the game. Football is not their job, it's their passion, their hobby!
Also, they're STILL underestimated by most teams. But that's not their fault!
They're having a fantastic season.
