Anderlecht – Standard: A Dominating Clash Ends in Triumph

Anderlecht – Standard: Match Highlights

This Sunday afternoon marked the hottest match in our championship as Anderlecht faced Standard in the Clasico. Thanks to goals from Jan-Carlo Simic (9th minute), Kasper Dolberg (30th minute), and Anders Dreyer (90th minute), Anderlecht emerged victorious with a score of 3-0 on matchday 10 of the Jupiler Pro League.

Simic opened the scoring with a header just 9 minutes in, perfectly redirecting a corner taken short by Theo Leoni. The Liège goalkeeper, Matthieu Epolo, could have done better on the opening goal. However, he completely missed the ball on Dolberg's strike from 20 meters, allowing Anderlecht to extend their lead. The Mauves were more aggressive in the second half, almost scoring again after the hour mark, but a VAR decision disallowed Dolberg's goal for offside (64th minute). In stoppage time, Anders Dreyer sealed the victory with a precise shot (90th+2, 3-0).

With this win, Anderlecht temporarily climbed to second place in the standings, while Standard remains at 11th place, struggling with a 0/6.
