GAMES RSC Anderlecht faced AA Ghent today in the sixth match of the play-offs. After the loss of points against Charleroi last Thursday, Anderlecht couldn't afford to lose. Else Ghent would return on two points of the Mauves. And that didn't happen, as the match ended in a scoreless draw. This means that Bruges can benefit tomorrow, if they win, and come back to four points.

Anderlecht started with Tielemans, fatigued and lightly injured, on the bench. Trebel took his place in the team.

AA Ghent were slightly better in the first half. The home side had control over a large part of the first 45 minutes, but couldn't really create chances. Anderlecht lurked on the counter attack with a fast Acheampong, but the last pass was often not good enough to create danger. The 0-0 half way was logical.

The second half was totally different as Anderlecht immediately took control and increased the pressure. Hanni had the perfect chance to score but his control wasn't perfect resulting in a shot that was too weak to defeat Kalinic. Teodorczyk also came close to scoring: on a center of Acheampong he pushed the ball in one time perfectly towards the goal, but Kalinic prevented a goal with a super save. Also Chipciu tested the Ghent keeper with a good effort in the corner. 
The home team was only dangerous in the last ten minutes on a free kick, but Boeckx pushed the ball away from under the crossbar. 0-0, final score.
