INTERVIEWS To make your debut and immediately be named "Man of the Match": that is what Justin Heekeren experienced yesterday against AA Gent. With a few superb saves he prevented Anderlecht from falling further behind. "Confidence wasn't great, but we kept fighting." "That I received the Man of the Match award isn't important to me," Heekeren said modestly afterwards. "It's a victory for the whole team.


I tried to do my bit. It was a good day for me and for the team." Heekeren acknowledged that Anderlecht did not play a great match. "Confidence wasn't great," he said, referring to the recent zero points from their last three games. "We're glad we were able to turn the negative trend around. We kept fighting today, especially in the second half. We didn't give up and we stayed calm."
