Anderlecht qualified for the next round in the Belgian Cup after beating second division team Boussu Dour with 2-0. The Mauves played with their reserves and count themselves lucky to advance after a terrible match.


The few fans that attended the game, were actually wrong this time. Anderlecht didn't create any single chance in the first half and excelled in bad passes and bad controls, despite the low pace. Boussu Dour were more dangerous though and goalkeeper Kaminski prevented Anderlecht from conceding one or more goals.

The second half was slightly better, but the match only tipped in Anderlecht's favour when Van den Brom brought Massimo Bruno into play. He scored 1-0 on a long ball from goalie Kaminski. The visitors kept trying to score and the decision fell two minutes before the end when Praet made it 2-0, after good preparing work from Bruno.

In the next round, the Mauves will meet KV Mechelen.

Anderlecht: Kaminski, Wasilewski, Hawsawi (59' Bruno), Juhasz, Safari, Molins, Kljestan, Praet, Jakovenko, Vargas (83' Canesin), De Sutter (72' Nuytinck).
