GAMES Anderlecht lost yesterday evening against Charleroi. It's Anderlecht's second home defeat in the league this season. The Mauves played a weak first half, but had enough chances to still win the match in the second half. Also referee Boucaut contributed to Anderlecht's defeat by refusing the home side a penalty.

Anderlecht started with exactly the same team that defeated Bruges on Sunday, but Charleroi had set up a solid defensive block and Anderlecht had trouble creating chances. Only Teodorzcyk and Appiah (shot on the post) were able to create something in the first half. Charleroi scored a few minutes before half time with a header of Harbaoui (loaned by Anderlecht to Charleroi). The goal was preceded by a foul of a Charleroi player, unseen by referee Boucaut.

In the second half, Anderlecht created at least 5 open chances. The Brussels' club also collected 12 corner kicks, but the goal never fell. Teodorczyk, Chipciu, Trebel and Thelin all failed alone in front of goalkeeper Penneteau. That same Penneteau escaped when he hit Teodorczyk on the head: no foul, no penalty decided referee Boucaut, though the foul had been seen by the entire stadium. Earlier, Boucaut denied Anderlecht another penalty when Acheampong was pulled down in the box. Clinton Mata came close to a second goal for the visitors, but his ball ended on the post. Final score: 0-1.

With this defeat, Anderlecht are suddenly less comfortably in the lead. The Mauves now count 5 points more than Ghent, but next Sunday Anderlecht will visit their nearest opponents. In case of another defeat, the league is completely open again. Bruges follow on 6 points.
