Weak Anderlecht stranded at 1-1

Weak Anderlecht stranded at 1-1

A pale Anderlecht did not get beyond a 1-1 draw at OHL. Purple and white hardly played a chance together and soon swallowed an avoidable goal after a bad kick-in by Schmeichel. After the hour, Anderlecht began to press a bit more, but that resulted in barely one chance for Dolberg. In the end, it was Patris who, out of nowhere, gave Anderlecht a point. The former OHL player kicked into goal from long range. If Anderlecht wants to put its foot down against Union in the double confrontation, it will have to tap from a different barrel. Read more »

Penalty phase raises much controversy

Penalty phase raises much controversy

The phase in which Racing Genk was not allowed to retake the penalty is causing a lot of controversy. It is not even impossible that the match will have to be (partially) replayed. Not only did Sor enter the penalty area too early, but Yari Verschaeren was also too quick. And that is precisely where the shoe pinches. When players of both clubs enter the penalty area too early, the penalty has to be replayed. Since a mistake was made against the rules, it seems likely that this will be followed up. Read more »

Anderlecht grabs unexpected win in closing stages

Anderlecht won 2-1 against a strong Genk. Purple and white played one of their weakest matches this season, although the emergency defense resisted with heart and soul. Genk was simply better in ball possession and saw the 0-1 disallowed. After halftime, Genk climbed into the lead anyway through Fadera, but Anderlecht hit back immediately through a clever shot by Leoni. In the closing stages, a run by Angulo led to Anders Dreyer's 2-1. The Lotto Park exploded and realized that this win may be considered a nice Christmas present. Read more »
