No winner in the Sporting duel. For David Hubert’s first game on the bench, Anderlecht shared the stakes against Charleroi (0-0). A little slow to get going, the Mauves will probably regret not having taken advantage of their second half. Both teams now have thirteen points in the Pro League standings.
Although close in the hierarchy, the two clubs are nevertheless in very different situations. Lacking depth of play, Anderlecht has just parted ways with its coach Brian Riemer. Opposite, everything is going well for the Carolos who were not expected to have such a party. A wave on which the visitors think they are surfing from the start of the match. Heymans is found at the second post but Coosemans intervenes firmly. A first warning which has the gift of locking up the debates. The match is balanced but it is the Hennuyers who make the most beautiful reconversions. Without real danger. As the minutes go by, the locals get back into the game. Sardella makes his mark twice while Bernier bites his shot in the other camp.
After the break, the Mauves seemed to gain momentum. Koné distinguished himself several times, notably on corners where Dendoncker and N’Diaye put him to work. In all the good moves today, Yari Verschaeren lacked success in the final move, like his shot that was too crossed. Slightly less present, the Zebras nevertheless remained involved. Having passed from one camp to the other, Flips missed the target by a few centimetres. The end of the match was more monotonous. Both teams seemed satisfied with sharing. In stoppage time, the Brussels team created one last opportunity. Alone in the second zone, Angulo placed it wide. Another sign of an Anderlecht looking for confidence.
