Mechelen vs RSC Anderlecht

Anderlecht came from behind to claim all three points at Mechelen's Achter De Kazerne, two substitute goals doing the damage in a scrappy Championship Group clash. KV Mechelen went into the break ahead after Bouke Boersma struck in first-half stoppage time (45+8'). Anderlecht hit back after the restart, with Mihajlo Cvetkovic levelling on 62 minutes before Adriano Bertaccini, teed up by Ludwig Augustinsson, completed the turnaround on 71. Both scorers came off the bench. Yellow cards were a theme throughout, with multiple players on either side cautioned across a feisty 90 minutes. The win extends Anderlecht's strong recent run, their ninth goal in five matches, while KV Mechelen will rue a dominant display that yielded nothing in the end. Goalkeeper Colin Coosemans was named Player of the Match as Anderlecht held firm despite the hosts registering 18 shots on the night.
