Kevin Denkey continued his impressive form for Cercle Bruges, scoring a brace in a 3-2 defeat against Beerschot in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday. Despite the Togolese striker’s best efforts, his double wasn’t enough to secure a win for his side.
Denkey, who is set to join Major League Soccer’s FC Cincinnati in January 2025, delivered a clinical performance in the first half.
He opened the scoring for Cercle Bruges in the 36th minute, before doubling their lead with a penalty in added time at the end of the first half.
His two goals brought his tally to nine for the season in just 15 league appearances, underscoring his significant contribution to the team.
However, despite Denkey’s efforts, Cercle Bruges was unable to maintain their advantage. Beerschot mounted a comeback in the second half, eventually turning the match around to claim a 3-2 victory.
The loss leaves Cercle Bruges with plenty to reflect on, as the team failed to capitalize on their strong start.
For Denkey, the match highlighted his ability to make an impact, even as his time in Belgium winds down.
His focus remains on delivering for Cercle Bruges during the remainder of his tenure before making the move to the United States in the new year.
