Anderlecht players criticized after 5-1 derby loss to Union SG

RSC Anderlecht suffered a 5-1 defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise on the final matchday of the Belgian league season at the Dudenpark Stadion. Supporters left early in protest during halftime and confronted the squad afterward.

Marco Kana told DAZN the fans’ anger was justified. The 5-1 scoreline marked Anderlecht’s heaviest league loss in Brussels since 2016.

Union Saint-Gilloise secured a Europa League playoff spot with the win. Anderlecht finished sixth, missing European qualification.

Club captain Jan Vertonghen addressed reporters post-match. He acknowledged the poor performance and fan frustration.

Manager Felice Mazzu called the result unacceptable. He vowed immediate analysis to address the team’s shortcomings.

Anderlecht’s next target is the Belgian Cup final on May 26 against Club Brugge.
