Leader RSC Anderlecht had to visit Beerschot AC as part of the 23rd matchday of the Jupiler Pro League on Saturday 28th January 2012. The team from Brussels got stuck at a 0-0 draw at the Olympic Stadium.

STVV and RSC Anderlecht have reached an agreement on the transfer of Thomas Chatelle to the club from Limburg. The agreement will be ratified on Monday 30th January 2012.

Oleksandr Iakovenko will play for Oud-Heverlee Leuven until the end of the current season. The 24-year-old Ukranian was lent to Westerlo the past two seasons and played at the Astridpark during the first half of the season 2011-2012. He was, however, not able to become a first-string player in the Purple & White squad and will now leave for OHL on loan.

Anderlecht coach Ariël Jacobs has selected 21 players for the game of the 23rd matchday against Beerschot AC. After Patou Kabangu, the second new player from TP Mazembe, Hugue Bedi Mbenza, is also part of the selection. There have been no selection problems for Sporting’s coach, for that matter. Except for the players with long-term injuries, everyone is fit.

Sporting Anderlecht took on first pursuer KAA Ghent in the top game of the 22nd matchday at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium on Tuesday 24th January 2012. With those two clubs, the best offence – Ghent – took on the best defence – Anderlecht – at the Astridpark. Despite taking a goal early, the victory was Purple & White thanks to goals by Milan Jovanovic (2) and Matias Suarez.
