Delcroix and Hoedt complement each other wonderfully in the center of defence.
Curiously, the Antwerpers recorded a higher number of expected goals than the Mauves (1.11 against 0.83). Still, the Anderlechtois perfectly exploited all their opportunities: four shots on target for four goals. Unlike his counterpart Bart Verbruggen, Jean Butez did not have the slightest stop to make. But each of the three saves Hendrik Van Crombrugge’s substitute had to make followed a strike from outside his box.
