Anderlecht defeated Mons and stay at the top of the table. It didn't go well for Anderlecht though, that had difficuties with the visiting defence and counter attacks. The Mauves also missed their 4th penalty of the season.


In the blistering heat, game took a slow start with a few small chances on both sides. The best one was for Jovanovic who hit the post. Nicaise's header went over on the other side. Anderlecht took the lead before half time: De Sutter set up a good comination with Jovanovic and the Serbian player scored.

After the break, Mons became more offensive and this quickly resulted in the equaliser. Jarju's effort went into the top corner from about 15 meters.

Anderlecht took over again and when Sapina pulled down Mbokani in the box, he got excluded and Wasilewski could take a penalty. Also the 4th penalty of the season was missed...
Eventually replacement Iakovenko gave Anderlecht the deserved victory with a header, but even against 10 visiting players, the Mauves had to watch out for the counter attack until the last second.
