Anderlecht's title success

Anderlecht became champions on April 21, 2000 after the defeat of rival Club Brugge at Herman Vanderpoortenstadion to Lierse 1-0 as it was 7 points ahead the Brugge team with 3 matches to go prior to this. The next day Anderlecht beat Racing Genk by 1-4 and then Standard Liège 2-0.

Battle for Europe

The runner-up Club Brugge qualified for the UEFA Cup and so did Gent.

The relegation dog fight

Charleroi avoided the relegation with a discussed draw against Anderlecht on the last matchday. Anderlecht was indeed already champion and it played with Enzo Scifo who had previously signed a deal with Charleroi. Anyway Geel lost its last match to Club Brugge and it was thus relegated with Lommel.
