Discipline tightened for Club Brugge as Jan Virgili was booked in the 70th minute, followed by Lee Han-Beom who received a yellow card for a bad foul two minutes later.
Tresoldi completed his hat-trick in the 74th minute, scoring again with a right-footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner, pushing Club Brugge’s advantage to 3-1.
