Club Brugge KV vs RSC Anderlecht

Club Brugge put on a commanding home display, beating Anderlecht 4-2 at Jan Breydel Stadium in the Belgian Pro League playoff round. Three first-half goals set the tone for a thoroughly convincing derby victory. Kyriani Sabbe got things started on 15 minutes, before Aleksandar Stankovic doubled the lead on 29. Christos Tzolis added a third before the break (37'), leaving Anderlecht with a mountain to climb. Thorgan Hazard gave the visitors brief hope early in the second half (55'), but Romeo Vermant sealed it deep into stoppage time (90'+4'). Mihajlo Cvetkovic's strike at 90'+1' amounted to little more than a consolation. The win keeps Club Brugge firmly in second place on 35 points, while Anderlecht, stranded on 22, face a steep uphill battle in the championship playoffs.
