GAMES - YOUTH Finally! On match day six, Anderlecht are finally rewarded for the courage and good football of the start of the season. An economical 1-0 win against leader Standard provides positive feelings when entering the international break. Lost son Alexis Saelemaekers played strong and decided the game.


Just like in the previous games, Anderlecht immediately claimed ball possession. It took a while to wait for the first chances. Standard had done his homework well, although the offensive did not come true.

Halfway through the first half, Bokadi collided with Gerkens in the penalty area. After consulting the VAR, referee Laforge decided not to award a penalty. On the half hour Verschaeren with the action on the right, Chadli with the heel and Saelemaekers kicked the ball in the far corner: 1-0. The substitute Vlap missed the 2-0 shortly before the break. Completely detached, he headed incomprehensibly alongside.

After the break we had to wait fifteen minutes for the first goal attempt worth the name. Van Crombrugge saved a free kick from MPoku nicely. A ball for the photographers. Also afterwards, the Anderlecht goalie was allowed to use his gloves a few times.

In minute 83, substitute Amuzu had the opportunity to secure the win, but he kicked the ball wide. Verschaeren and Sambi Lokonga also did not get the 2-0 on the board. It remained 1-0 and so Anderlecht grabbed its first three points of the season.
