Anderlecht have beaten FC Dender tonight in the 8th finals of the Cup. The Mauves crushed the second division club with 5-2. By this, Anderlecht are qualified for the quarter finals.


The second division team took the best start and stayed the better team in the whole first half. They also opened the score after 10 minutes of play through Persoons. But Boussoufa equalised for Anderlecht two minutes later, when Dender's goalie made a serious blunder.

Dender tried to push the Mauves back, but the home-side was far more efficient. Mpenza broke through and doubled the score: 2-1. A few minutes before the break, Frutos made the 3-1 on a center of his fellow countryman Pareja.

The second half was rather boring. Anderlecht controled the game and Dender couldn't do much. Frutos made his second of the evening on a center of Legear: 4-1.

Dender gave the impression to come back into the game when they scored on penalty after a foul of Deschacht in the box: 4-2. Though when Boussoufa made his second goal (5-2), the visitors' hope of qualifty for the next round totally vanished.
