The club won the Belgian championship for the 27th time.

The victory of this team in the league was determined by yesterday's match between the former champions "Brugge" and "Mouscron", which ended in a draw 1-1. "Brugge" took the lead, but with two minutes left, a penalty kick was awarded, which was converted by Luigis Pieronis.

With this result, "Anderlecht" mathematically secured the title, as they have a ten-point lead over their pursuers with three matches left.

The fans of the new champions began to celebrate the victory today, as "Anderlecht" plays away against "Lierse". The celebration should continue at home arena next week when they play against "Genk".

The Brugge players, who won the title by eight points last season, will have to fight for the second place this season, which allows them to play in the second round of the Champions League qualification. "Standard", in third place, is five points behind "Brugge".
