KAA Gent swept past RSC Anderlecht with a comprehensive 4-0 home victory on Sunday evening. The Brussels side aimed to build momentum following a European win in Poland, but instead suffered a severe collapse against the Jupiler Pro League leaders.
Early opener sets the tone in Ghent
The home team dictated proceedings early on. An opening goal by Kadri put KAA Gent in command, leaving Anderlecht struggling to establish control against the disciplined side coached by Rik De Mil.
„4-0, het is meteen weer crisis in het Lotto Park. Ondertussen blijft Gent de fiere leider”, reports Sporza.
Defensive collapse seals heavy Anderlecht defeat
The decisive blows arrived late in the game. During the final fifteen minutes, Anderlecht's defense gave way completely, conceding three additional goals in quick succession.
The result leaves KAA Gent firmly at the summit of Belgian professional football, while Anderlecht faces renewed scrutiny and mounting questions ahead of key domestic fixtures in the weeks ahead.
