Poor Anderlecht unable to avoid defeat

Poor Anderlecht unable to avoid defeat

Anderlecht has a lot to think about during the winter break. They lost 1-2 to Charleroi, who were the better team on the pitch. Anderlecht was nowhere to be seen and only scored through a penalty by Hazard after 24 minutes. By then, however, it was already 0-2. Anderlecht didn't even manage to create a single chance worthy of the name in the second half. The Purple & White have to let the top 3 slip away and could see Mechelen close the gap to two points tomorrow.

Hasi wins points thanks to his bench

Hasi wins points thanks to his bench

Besnik Hasi has been hammering home the message for weeks: at Anderlecht, no one is expendable. “Starters or substitutes, everyone counts,” the coach invariably repeats. These are not empty words, as it turns out. In the decisive moments of matches, it is often the Purple & White's bench players who prove to be worth their weight in gold. Read more »

Hasi: “This way, we can point to the spot all the time.”

The match between Antwerp and Anderlecht had two completely different halves. Before the break, the home team was clearly the better side, but after the break, the Purple & White fought back. While Antwerp coach Joseph Oosting lamented his team's failure to seal the match, Besnik Hasi once again expressed his incomprehension about the penalty awarded to RAFC. “But you can't take that kind of attitude into a match,” he said.
