Match report
Anderlecht and RAAL La Louvière played out a complicated opening round of the Jupiler Pro League at the Stade Constant Vanden Stock. The hosts took the lead through K. Nga before RAAL responded, and the match ended 2:1 after a late visitor goal. By then the visitors had already been reduced to ten men.
M. Isah gave RAAL the advantage in the fifty-fourth minute, a quick strike before the hosts could settle into their rhythm. Five minutes later J. Ito picked up a red card for the visitors, and here's the thing — the momentum shifted immediately. Nga brought Anderlecht back level in the sixty-ninth minute, and the home side took control from there.
RAAL refused to go away despite the numerical disadvantage. Bertaccini, who had come on as a substitute, found space in the ninety-second minute to fire home, and the away end never stopped. The goal meant the result was far from settled, though Anderlecht held their nerve to see it through.
Anderlecht dominated possession at seventy-four percent and created four big chances against two for the visitors. They registered seventeen shots on target compared to RAAL's five, yet the visitors showed more efficiency in front of goal. The hosts completed six hundred and eighty-six passes to RAAL's two hundred and thirty-nine.
The result leaves Anderlecht on seven points from five matches, still mid-table but showing signs of consistency. RAAL remain bottom with one point from five games, and the clean-sheet run came to an end for the visitors despite their late fightback.
