Anderlecht halt Club Brugge's winning streak with a 1-1 draw at the Jan Breydel stadium
Hans Vanaken scored in his 500th top-flight match before Mihajlo Cvetkovic equalised after the break.
Club Brugge were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Anderlecht on Sunday afternoon on the eleventh matchday of the Jupiler Pro League. Brugge had most of the ball but struggled to break down a compact Brussels defence. Just before half-time Hans Vanaken headed in a Cheveyo Tsawa cross at the far post. According to Voetbalkrant it was his 500th match in the top flight.
In the 58th minute Anderlecht goalkeeper Colin Coosemans launched a long ball forward. Brandon Mechele misjudged it, and Mihajlo Cvetkovic kept his composure against Yann Sommer. Sporza reports that Jorne Spileers felt afterwards that Cvetkovic had held Mechele in that duel. Club kept pushing, but Coosemans kept his side level. Voetbalkrant gave him the highest rating on the pitch, with seven saves.
According to Sporza, the draw ended a run of nine straight Brugge wins. Club now have 28 points and dropped to second later in the evening after Union beat Genk. Anderlecht stay fifth with 20 points.
