It was not Anderlecht’s evening, Saturday at Den Dreef. Little inspiration, missed opportunities and two red cards were the ingredients of a painful loss of points against OHL.
It was deep in the lock that an extra heavy downer for the inhabitants of Brussels followed. Right back Murillo touched Maertens’ foot and received a second yellow card.
Anderlecht coach Kompany had seen a foul on Raman in the preceding phase, but the referees present did not share that opinion.
Kompany then furiously lashed out at referee Erik Lambrechts, who gave Kompany a yellow card and turned it red a few seconds later.
A low point for the ever restrained Kompany, who was also no longer allowed to give an interview after the match, according to the rules. He will probably have to watch from the stands the next match day against Ostend.
