Upon returning from the locker room, the reaction of the locals is rather timid. While in control, Anderlecht will even double the bet on a distant and off-center free kick of Gomez. The Spaniard tries to find the head of a teammate but the ball crosses the whole defense and ends up between the legs of Koffi (67 ‘).
While the Mauves finally seemed to hold a new victory, Charleroi did not let it go. Nicholson first resumed a powerful header perfectly diverted by Van Crombrugge (73 ‘) beforeIlaimaharitra does not unleash a powerful shot from afar that the Belgian goalkeeper cannot deflect (77 ‘). Anything can still happen when there is only a quarter of an hour left.
Anderlecht do not let themselves be demobilized and continue to play but the good head of Kouame does not surprise Koffi who achieves a high class tap (79 ‘). Sporting Brussels will finally eliminate all suspense a few minutes from the end. shave is unbalanced by Zedadka in the large rectangle and obtains a penalty, perfectly transformed by Gomez who thus offers himself a double (86 ‘).
