KV Mechelen vs Anderlecht

KV Mechelen sealed a historic 1-0 win over Anderlecht at the AFAS Stadion thanks to a breathtaking stoppage-time volley from Myron van Brederode. The forward fired into the bottom-right corner in the 91st minute to send the home crowd into absolute delirium. A tense, cagey affair looked destined for a goalless draw. Anderlecht hit the woodwork twice through Degreef (53') and Saliba (59'), while keeper Miras produced a stunning goal-line save to deny Thorgan Hazard. The turning point came in the 88th minute when Adriano Bertaccini was shown a second yellow for cynically halting a counterattack. Down to ten men, Anderlecht had no answer. Van Brederode latched onto a deflected free kick and hammered a sweet volley past Colin Coosemans to spark wild scenes. The result lifts KV Mechelen to fourth on 45 points, clinching a first-ever Play-off I berth. Anderlecht slip to fifth on 44 and must get a result on the final matchday to secure their top-six spot.
