Match report
Anderslecht beat Zulte Waregem 3-0 at Lotto Park on Saturday in the Belgian Pro-Liga Jupiler regular season, round 7. The hosts took all three points with two goals from Marten Winkler and one from Tawfik Bentayeb. The result moves them up to fourth place on four wins and one draw from seven matches.
Yellow cards came early, Laurent Lemoine picking up the first in the 24th minute before Lukas Ambros followed in the 34th. By then the visitors were already struggling to find space. Bentayeb opened the scoring in the 40th minute, and Winkler added a second just before half-time in the 45th. The visitors had created only two big chances all afternoon by that point.
Winkler put the game to bed early in the 54th minute, and his effort was confirmed after a VAR check in the 55th. We had called a home win with 46 per cent confidence going in, and the prediction came true. Anderslecht controlled the tempo after the break and Zulte Waregem never really got going. Three substitutions for the hosts in the 68th minute showed how comfortable they were.
Anderslecht dominated possession at 61 per cent and created seven big chances compared to two for the visitors. They registered eight shots on target against four, though shots accuracy sat at 50 per cent. Zulte Waregem made more clearances — 26 to 11 — and attempted 17 tackles, but they were defending deep and rarely threatening in return.
The hosts now sit four points clear of Zulte Waregem in sixth place, both teams having played seven matches. Anderslecht have not won since their 1-0 victory over Mechelen on Wednesday, while the visitors lost 1-0 away at Charleroi on Wednesday. The result extends a run of three wins in four league games for the hosts.
