Anderlecht beat Genk 4:0 in the opening round of the women's Super League on Friday evening. The match finished at 17:00 local time at the home ground. And here's the thing about a clean sweep — it tells you more than just the scoreline.
Martiskova put the hosts ahead after thirteen minutes. The goal came early, before Genk could settle into their shape. To be fair, the visitors looked rattled from the first whistle.
The second half brought three more goals in quick succession. Wijnants found the net at seventy-two minutes, then Jonusaite added another at seventy-five. Helsen completed the scoring at seventy-seven.
By then the result was never in doubt. Anderlecht sit second on three points from one game. Genk occupy seventh place with no points from their opening fixture.
The away side's recent form offers some context. They drew twice and won once across their last five matches before this defeat. Anderlecht showed more inconsistency — two draws and a loss in their previous outings.
Four goals without reply gives the home team a comfortable goal difference. The visitors face a long season if this is how it begins.
