KAA Gent maintains perfect start in Jupiler Pro League

KAA Gent remains at the top of the Jupiler Pro League with a perfect record of 12 points from four matches. Following a 1-0 victory over Oud-Heverlee Leuven, coach Rik De Mil described the performance as a “learning moment,” noting that the team failed to push for a second goal and instead retreated into a defensive posture.

In terms of squad development, Hein Vanhaezebrouck has identified Christian Burgess as the best incoming transfer in the league. Burgess, who joined KAA Gent on a two-season contract after six years with Union SG, was highlighted for his defensive importance. Other notable transfers mentioned in Vanhaezebrouck’s top five include goalkeeper Hervé Koffi, striker Rafiu Durosinmi, and 19-year-old Josué Vergara.
