Script:
It could have been quite a scoreline, but instead three penalty saves by Mechelen goalkeeper Jean-Francois Gillet made this a match to remember.
Gillet's heroics started as early as the sixth minute - Imoh Ezekiel brought down in the box. Penalty number one.. saved.
Mechelen almost took advantage - Sofiane Hanni hitting the crossbar just moments later.
Then, more heroics from Gillet - Steven Defour's long-range shot brilliantly tipped onto the woodwork
A push by Mechelen defender Laurens Paulussen meant a second penalty for Anderlecht. This time Gillet denying Stefano Okaka.
Okaka persevered in the second half, turning in thid goal-bound shot to take the home side one-up
And still more drama with two minutes to go. Ibrahima Cisse handling in the area. Penalty number three.
And Gillet to the rescue a third time - saving Yoeri Tielemans' spot kick.
Such heriocs were to be rewarded. An injury-time mishap from Kara Mbodji to level the score 1-1.
A unique hat-trick for Gillet and an unlikely point from a game he'll remember forever.
