In the opening match of the 3rd day of the play-offs 1, Anderlecht secured a victory at Lokeren (1-2) courtesy of goals from Cyriac in the 6th minute and Mitrovic in the 66th minute. With this win, Anderlecht (35 points) now shares the second spot with FC Bruges, trailing Standard by 2 points in the standings.
“We approach every match with the intention to win; there’s no room for calculations anymore. Having both attackers, Mitro and Cyriac, upfront has been effective. It facilitates creating opportunities and scoring goals. They showcased it once again this Friday. Now, our focus shifts to preparing for Tuesday’s match against Zulte Waregem, which won’t be a walk in the park. It’s crucial for us to secure all three points at home! Hopefully, this consecutive win streak will ignite something within us; it’s been a long time coming,” shared Cheikhou Kouyaté in his post-match interview with RTBF.
