Brugge and Anderlecht win in Belgium

No surprises occurred in Sunday’s two Belgian Pro League games, as both Club Brugge and Anderlecht clinched away victories.

Leaders Club Brugge visited last-placed Roeselare and went ahead through Ivan Perisic in the 37th minute, for Ronald Vargas to add another two minutes later.

A penalty goal from Bjarni Vidarsson gave Roeselare new hope on 52 minutes, but Dorge Kouemaha restored the two-goal gap six minutes after the hour. A late goal from Mahamadou Dissa wasn’t enough for Roeselare to threaten Brugge’s lead.

Brugge played most of the second half with a man less, as Michael Klukowski was sent off in minute 51.

RSC Anderlecht earned a 0-2 win at Mechelen. Romelo Lukaku opened the scoring in the 11th minute, and Mbark Boussoufa doubled the advantage three minutes before the hour.

Club Brugge remain in first place with 27 points from 12 games, one point more than second-placed Anderlecht.
