Sint-Truiden vs RSC Anderlecht

St. Truiden earned a fully deserved 2-0 victory over Anderlecht at Stayen on Thursday — their first win over the Brussels club since 2018 — with on-loan striker Keisuke Goto stealing the headlines by scoring against his own parent club. STVV dominated from the off, with Ito orchestrating throughout and Goto even rattling the post in the first half. The breakthrough finally arrived in the 75th minute when Goto met Ito's cross and steered it delicately past Coosemans, ending a two-month scoring drought in the most poetic fashion. Ryan Merlen sealed it in stoppage time (90+2') with a composed finish after a clever layback from Sebaoui. Anderlecht contributed little going forward and collected yellow cards for Saliba (9') and Diarra (66'). The result tightens STVV's grip on third place in the Champions' Play-offs, while Anderlecht — who had the chance to leapfrog them tonight — are now running seriously short of opportunities to secure a European berth.
