GAMES Anderlecht, already champions, ended the season with a 3-2 victory over Ostend. The Mauves close the year on the first place with seven points ahead of Bruges that ended second after a victory against Ghent.

Anderlecht started with Ruben, Deschacht, Stanciu and Capel in the team. Tielemans started the match but was replaced early in the second half. He probably played his last match for Anderlecht.

The Mauves were clearly inspired by winning the title and took an excellent start. They created several chances in just a few minutes time, but goalkeeper Dutoit kept his nets clean. The early offensive died out after 10 minutes, though Stanciu hit the crossbar after a fantastic run a bit before the 30th minute. A few minutes later, the goal fell on the other side when Millic was offered multiple attempts in one phase by the Anderlecht defense. The third attempt was the good one and he scored with a header: 0-1. 

After a few minutes, Anderlecht regained control and started an offensive. Dutoit kept Teodorczyk and Bruno from scoring with two phenomenal saves. But shortly before half time, Rozenhal cracked under the pressure and scored an own-goal: 1-1.

The second half started with a few replacements and a low pace. But around the 60th minute, Dendoncker brought his colours ahead with a hard shot. A blunder of Deschacht rapidly undid the lead and Akpala scored: 2-2. The Mauves wanted to end the season with a victory and increased the pressure. Ten minutes before the end, Acheampong gave Anderlecht what they deserved after a good combination with Hanni: 3-2. 

In the last minutes, Teodorczyk hit the crossbar when he had broken through he visiting defense. A little later, Berrier was kicked in the groin in the box, but the referee refused to give a penalty. 3-2 final score.
