South African midfielder Percy Tau, on loan at Brugge from Brighton, also made his CL debut, having joined the Belgian outfit at the end of last month.
Tau was given a 7/10 rating, with the paper praising his “dynamism” and work rate before the interval, although they did add that he lost a bit of his spark after the interval.

Simon Mignolet player rating on Brugge debut against Dinamo Kiev
Percy Tau rating on Champions League debut for Brugge against Dinamo
Brugge won 1-0 thanks to a 37th minute penalty.
Nice to see Migs start on a positive. Should definitely thrive at Brugge.
Does Percy Tau speak Afrikaans? It, I assume, should help him adjust faster in Brugge, given they speak Dutch there?
