Anderlecht had a chance to take a two point lead tonight, but instead they had a lucky escape in Tubize. The game ended on a 1-1 draw, with Wasilewski scoring the equaliser five minutes into injury time.


Anderlecht dominated the first half, but couldn't create that many chances. The best ones were missed by Chatelle, De Sutter and Boussoufa. Tubize goalkeeper Ardouin also played a very decent game, keeping the nill.

Tubize seemed to be very motivated and fought for every ball. Anderlecht's combination play was bogged down on the midfield. And the home side also had a few good chances on the counter attack.

In the second half, Tubize managed to threaten the visitors with good attacks over the wings. Anderlecht could never create any danger. After 70 minutes of play, Polak received his second yellow card of the game after a small foul. This was the turning point in the game.

Tubize, that needed a win to have a chance to stay in the highest division, grew stronger with 11 against 10. Eight minutes before the end, the unthinkable happened: Dufer scored the 1-0.

Anderlecht threw everything they had at the Tubize goal now. Boussoufa had an excellent chance to equalise, but he missed. In virtually the last of the 6 minutes stoppage time, Wasilewski saved the Brussels' team by headed the equaliser against the net on a corner kick: 1-1.
