An attractive Anderlecht crushes Gantoise and climbs to 4th place

No Leander Dedoncker in the basic eleven on the Anderlecht side. David Hubert titularize Rits and Leoni in front of the defense. Edozie is preferred to Amuzu.

Not much to put under the sole during the first quarter of an hour. The first big chance came from Anderlecht in the 23rd minute. Rits’ tense shot from 20 meters was deflected by Watanabe. Roef, the Buffalos goalkeeper, is caught on the wrong foot and the ball ends up in the back of the Ghent goal (1-0).

Vrancken’s men react immediately, but Coosemans is attentive and wonderfully deflects a shot from Delorge.

The rest and the end of the first period is only tinged with mauve. The second goal is sumptuous. Stroeykens finds Dolberg who plays it collectively by offering the goal to Correctalone at the far post. It’s -02 in the 38th.

We find Edozie just before the break. The Anderlecht winger was sent to the ground by Torunarigha who received a second yellow card, synonymous with exclusion. A few seconds later a superb free kick from Dolberg allowed Anderlecht to make the break. It’s 3-0 at the break.
