Club Brugge does not benefit from Union points loss

In the Lotto Park, Club Brugge created the first goal danger. De Ketelaere headed the ball over, but got a firm push from Magallán. No penalty, the VAR ruled. Lang advanced towards the RSCA goal moments later, Van Crombrugge prevented the Bruggelings from taking an early lead.

Gradually, Anderlecht restored the balance, but that did not produce many opportunities. Five minutes before half-time, Arnstad pulled out with a slider from the crescent moon, Mignolet had to stretch completely. The Club Brugge goalkeeper was awake afterwards when Hoedt wanted to take him down with a kick from across the center line.

Scoreless ending

Early in the second half, a shot from substitute Raman flew over the Bruges goal through Mignolet’s hand. Then there was nothing to do for a long time, until a long shot from Mata hit the post. A failed cross from Buchanan fell on the crossbar. Hendry kept El Hadj across from a goal. The game, full of sloppiness, ended with no goals. For Alfred Schreuder’s team, the series ended with nine consecutive league victories.

Important matches

In the standings, Club Brugge has 40 points, Union has three more. The reigning champion will visit Union next Sunday, three days later they will meet again in the Jan Breydel Stadium. Anderlecht and Antwerp close the row with 33 points and are also preparing for a diptych.
