Mali’s Abdoulay Diaby scores as Club Brugge edge Kortrijk

Abdoulay Diaby scored his second league goal as Club Brugge edged Kortrijk 2-1 in a Belgain topflight league fixture.

Jelle Vossen converted from the penalty spot to hand the Ivan Leko’s men the lead 11 minutes into the game before the Eagles forward doubled Club Brugge’s lead four minutes after the restart.

Jovan Stojanović tried to help Kortrijk back into the game with a 68th minute goal but Diaby’s early strike in the second half was enough to seal maximum points for the Blue-Black.
