Draw for Anderlecht

Draw for Anderlecht

Anderlecht had to cede the lead to Club Brugge after a 0-0 at Union. However, it played its best away game of the play-offs and had plenty of chances to score.

Bad luck is haunting Anderlecht in these play-offs, as Vertonghen had to leave the game after half an hour with an injury. Anderlecht must now chase, but remains in control of everything. For the optimists, Anderlecht is sure of at least place three.  Read more »
