Script:

Fierce rivals Anderlecht and Club Brugge locked horns for the first time this Belgian Pro League season at Jan Breydel Stadium.

Six minutes in, new signing Steven Defour, proved his worth with this magnificent drive from long range to put Anderlecht ahead.

Last season's champions doubled their lead less than 10 minutes later.

Dennis Praet providing the inspiration again with this pinpoint cross from the byline.

Striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, unmarked in the penalty area, rose to power the ball past Australian goalkeeper Matt Ryan to make it 2-nil.

A half-time team talk seemed to galvanise the spirits of Club Brugge.

4 minutes into the second period they were back in the game after this Nicolas Castillo free kick.

Anderlecht's goalkeeper making an impressive double save before Jesper Jorgensen eventually prodded the ball in the back of the net.

The home side, running on a high, had their equaliser in the 68th minute after this set play from a corner.

Anderlecht struggled with the cross.

Bjorn Engels made the most of the scrappy defending, to make it 2-2 and secure the point for Club Brugge.
