GAMES The game that couldn't be lost for Anderlecht ... was lost ... with a 5-0 score even. It's the largest defeat for Anderlecht in Bruges in history. The Mauves are now 13 points behind and can focus on the second or maybe even third place. 

Anderlecht had only one chance in Bruges, in the first half with a 0-0 score. Hanni appeared alone in front of Butelle but instead of scoring, he passed to Beric allowing the defense to intervene. Besides that, Bruges dominated the entire match. There weren't any large chances until the last minute in the first half: Vormer went past Trebel and brought the ball in front of the goal: Diaby scored with a header. Right after the kick-off, Anderlecht lost the ball and Boeckx kicked the ball on the back of Spajic. Diaby received the ball and scored in the empty goal. A huge blunder and 2-0.
The second half brought more of the same with Bruges scoring twice out of two penalties (Vormer & Vossen). Vanaken made it into a historic evening with a fifth goal: 5-0.
