Ghana defender Denis Odoi delivered an outstanding performance on Sunday, scoring the decisive goal that secured a crucial 1-0 victory for Club Brugge over Anderlecht in the Belgium Pro League Championship playoffs.
The 35-year-old Black Stars defender played the entire match at Lotto Park, helping his team earn a vital three points in a tightly contested encounter. Odoi’s goal in the 29th minute was the only one of the match, giving Club Brugge a significant boost in their title race.

With this victory, Club Brugge now lead the Belgium Pro League Championship group with 49 points, putting them just one point away from clinching the league title.
Odoi’s consistent form has been a cornerstone of Club Brugge’s campaign, with the defender making 37 appearances and scoring two goals this season.
Odoi’s impressive performances are likely to see him called up to the Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualification games against Mali and the Central African Republic.
He was also part of the Ghana squad that faced Nigeria and Uganda during the March international break and participated in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast, where Ghana was eliminated in the group stage.
Odoi’s contributions have been instrumental for both his club and country, and his latest goal underscores his value as a key player for Club Brugge as they close in on domestic success.
This pivotal win not only highlights Odoi’s defensive prowess but also his ability to make critical contributions in attack, proving his versatility and importance to Club Brugge’s title aspirations.
