Westerlo lost a thriller on Boxing Day, but American players Griffin Yow and Bryan Reynolds did not disappoint.
Yow scored once while Reynolds registered two assists in a 4-3 road loss to Club Brugge. The U.S. men’s national team duo even teamed up for the first time this season, picking up some individual confidence to close their 2024 schedule.
Yow cut Westerlo’s deficit in half before the interval, picking up a pass from Reynolds before unleashing a left-footed strike into the top-left corner. It was Yow’s second goal of the Belgian season and first since November 24.
Despite Westerlo fighting back for a 3-3 scoreline, a second-half stoppage time winner for Club Brugge sealed three points for the hosts.
Yow was substituted off before the final whistle while Reynolds went the distance. It marked Reynolds’ first multi-assist game since November 2022.
Westerlo next has a two-week break before resuming league play on January 11 against Sint-Truiden.
