The reigning Belgian champions Bruges kicked off the 2026-27 Pro League season with a convincing 3-0 victory over Kortrijk. Goals from Hugo Vetlesen, Carlo Forbs, and Nicolò Tresoldi from the penalty spot allowed the Blauw en Zwart to wrap up the match with ease on the opening day of the league.

For Yann Sommer, making his official debut in the new jersey, it was the best possible start. The former Inter goalkeeper kept a clean sheet, celebrating the first shutout of the season along with the team’s victory.

The result takes on special significance after the recent defeat on penalties in the national Super Cup against Union Saint-Gilloise. Bruges immediately responded on the pitch, showing their determination to defend the title won last season.
