Goalkeepers, the fair of mistakes: Anderlecht equalized the Belgian derby in the final

Anderlecht failed to close the gap with leaders Bruges in the Belgian national derby, Le Classique, at the Astridpark stadium. Anderlecht conceded their first goal after 15 minutes, after a mistake by goalkeeper Van Crombrugge, with a goal from Mats Rits.

Then with a quarter of an hour to go, substitute Benito Raman, the 26-year-old Belgian midfielder, scored the goal of a well-deserved equalizer for the Brussels hosts two minutes after leaving the bench. Bruges now share first place with 19 points after 10 games with Saint-Gilloise. Anderlecht’s equalizer was also brought about by a mistake by Bruges goalkeeper Simone Mignolet.
