KRC Genk beat Anderlecht and move up into second place
There was just one winner in the four Belgian First Division games that were played on Saturday evening. In the 8:30pm kick-off KRC Genk continued their strong start to the season with a 1-0 home win against Sporting Anderlecht.
Sébastien Dewaest scored the only goal of the game 4 minutes into the second half. It was KRC Genk’s first home win against Sporting Anderlecht in 20 years.
Meanwhile, Anderlecht have now taken just 1 point from their last three games. The result sees KRC Genk move up to 2nd place with 17 points from 7 games. Anderlecht are 3rd with 13 points. However, they could slip back a place or two depending on RFC Antwerp and AA Gent’s results later today.
