Sporting Anderlecht won their round of 16 match of the Belgian Cup 2-0 against Standard de Liège on Thursday evening at Lotto Park. Goals from Mario Stroeykens (31st) and Anders Dreyer (51st) allowed the Mauves to qualify for the quarter-finals. Unfortunately, this Clasico was marked by excesses at the end of the match.

While the score was already 2-0 in the 87th minute, the referee had to interrupt the match for around ten minutes following projectiles being thrown onto the pitch. Rouches supporters notably tore down seats from Lotto Park to throw them onto the pitch. Smoke bombs and firecrackers were also set off in both camps. A supporter in a wheelchair was reportedly hit and injured in the leg during these excesses.

For Standard, these new incidents could well cost it a match behind closed doors since the club has been on reprieve since October 23, 2023 after excesses during a Clasico, again won 5-0 on the green carpet.

On Sunday, Mauves and Rouches will meet again, again at Lotto Park, but this time in the championship. We can only hope that this new Clasico will be lively on a sporting level, and that a good atmosphere reigns in the stands…
