Derby victory at Lotto Park

The opening phase of the derby was hard to watch. The level of play was disappointing at times, and Anderlecht was the first to threaten. Moris pulled off a fine save.
 

That woke the Unionistes up. David forced Coosemans into a save after a setup by Boufal, and a minute later, Rasmussen played Niang through beautifully. With space to work with, he found his fellow winger Khalaili via David for the 0-1!
 

The second half didn’t bring much improvement in play, but Union was the better side. Ivanovic’s goal was disallowed for offside, and after a save from Moris, Union stormed forward. Niang made it 0-2 after an assist from David.
 

Union secures its place in Play-off I.
