Anderlecht dominated the whole game from start to finish. Jelle Van Damme and Stanislav Vlcek scored in the first half, giving Anderlecht the second place in the league.


Anderlecht played in their new shirts and started furious. Vlcek hit the post after 10 minutes, and Biglia's drive was saved by Stijn Stijnen. After 15 minutes anderlecht broke the deadlock. Boussoufa gave a nice pass to Frutos, but he hit the post. Vlcek however was the quickest on the ball and ran it past Stijnen.

Ten minutes later, karel Geraerts was given a red card after a challenge from behind on man of the match Boussoufa. A few minutes later, Anderlecht should have had a penalty, but the referee gave a corner. It was on that corner that Jelle Van Damme scored the 2-0, again on pass from Boussoufa.

In the second half, Anderlecht controlled the match and created enough chances to score more goals, but Stijnen played a great match. Ahmed Hassan, who will leave Anderlecht after this season, came on during the second half, and almost gave the assist for the 3-0.

Club Brugge was frustrated and made a lot of fowls, followed by yellow cards, but hardly managed to create a chance, and were put out of their misery after 90 minutes.

Anderlecht is now second in the Belgian Jupiler League, and needs just one more point to stay ahead of Brugge. Next week Anderlecht will travel to Mons, Brugge will play at home against Westerlo.
