IT PROVED A disappointing afternoon for all in attendance at Genk’s Cristal Arena as the home side could only play out a tame scoreless draw with Anderlecht.
There may not have been much in the way of entertainment on the pitch but there was plenty off it.

During the first-half, cameras cut to a close-up of a group of nuns all sitting together and blessing themselves furiously – either with relief or in an attempt to muster up inspiration.
It seemed a sweet scene – five or six friends taking in some Sunday football action.
Then, during half-time, the camera had a bit more time to dedicate to the unique occurrence and we found out that there was quite an army of them!
There was very little entertainment during Genk v Anderlecht but there were lots of nuns

We’re still not quite sure why the nuns were there but they certainly made an impression.
Maybe they should make a habit of it.
