KO for STVV after halftime

KO for STVV after halftime

Anderlecht sent STVV home 4-1. However, it was trailing 0-1 at halftime after a gaffe by Arnstad and as Dreyer failed to make it 1-1. After halftime Anderlecht shifted up a gear and scored three goals in no time through a strong Hazard, Stroeykens and Dolberg. Although STVV was still able to threaten from time to time from distance, Purple-White played out the game from the seat. After a foul on Hazard, Vazquez scored the 4-1 from the penalty spot. Anderlecht is doing well again in the standings and is mathematically sure of Play-Off 1. Read more »

Efficient Anderlecht takes three points

Efficient Anderlecht takes three points

An efficient Anderlecht won 1-3 in Charleroi. With a minimum of effort, Anderlecht was ahead 0-2 after half an hour after an owngoal and a goal by Dolberg. But Charleroi, which often had the ball, was able to ease to 1-2 before halftime. In a sloppy and chance-poor second half, substitute Vazquez cleared the doubts with a very clever goal. Charleroi's biggest chance fell in the added time, but Schmeichel prevented a torrid finale for the purple and white. Anderlecht thus makes a good case in the standings and catches up a little on Union. Read more »

Rits:

Mats Rits was also asked about the disallowed goal after the game against Gent. "I watched the phase back. Should I be in the Genste camp, I wouldn't consider this an error either," the midfielder said. However, Rits sees a resemblance to the penalty that Anderlecht was whistled against on Thursday in Mechelen. Read more »


Finally another win against Gent

Finally another win against Gent

Anderlecht was able to win against Gent for the first time since 2018. In a rather messy match, it became 1-0 through a penalty by Dreyer. A weakened Gent had a lot of ball possession especially before halftime but was only dangerous from distance. Anderlecht created some chances, but the last ball was missing. In the closing stages, the purple and white got away well when Laforge disallowed the equalizer after Arnstad was brought down in a preceding duel, on the advice of the VAR. So this time the referee's decision fell in Purple-White's favor. Read more »

Poor play and cheap penalty ensure draw

Poor play and cheap penalty ensure draw

Anderlecht still hasn't been able to win this year. Tonight it stranded at 2-2 in Mechelen. Anderlecht started very dominant and scored quickly through Hazard, but Mechelen recovered and Purple-White combined harder. Ten minutes after halftime, they equalized through Antonio. Anderlecht played poorly after halftime, but still took the lead through substitute Vazquez. In the closing stages, Mechelen got a very cheap penalty which made it 2-2. In the added time, Coucke had another fine save to keep Hazard from making it 2-3. A missed opportunity to run out of rivals for Play-Off 1. Read more »

It is not known if the ex-Anderlecht player is already in the selection today. Read more »

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 »
