A goal-less derby

Sporting travelled to the Stade Joseph Marien on Sunday for the seventh round of the play-offs. Kasper Schmeichel returned to the starting line-up, as did Anders Dreyer. Brian Riemer also introduced Majeed Ashimeru into the starting line-up. Starters against Cercle, Colin Coosemans, Théo Leoni and Luis Vázquez were joined on the bench by Yari Verschaeren, also back from injury. RSCA had to settle for a 0-0 draw. As a result, they lost their place at the top to Club Brugge, who are now two points clear, but Anderlecht still have their own fate in their own hands.
