Anderlecht on a rose for 10 Danes
Anderlecht had to win in Denmark to survive in the third European club competition.
It started well for visitors. Silkeborg’s famous stampede did not materialize and after a superb attack the score was 0-1.
Siddiqui played the ball to Amozo, who took advantage of Verschaeren in one go. The holder of the number 10 turned the ball around the defense, and Rafailov cleverly pushed it.
It wasn’t long after Silkeborg came up with ten. Klynge pushed Verschaeren against the mat.
With the break in sight, Refealov was able to extend the lead. He had three chances in less than a minute. Larsen saved twice, the third time heading an Anderlecht man away.
Anderlecht plays with fire against 10 Danes
Anderlecht managed to book a ticket to the 1/16 finals, but not yet. Because she played with fire after the break. Perhaps Silkeborg was on the field with one man less, and Anderlecht shivered and shivered.
At first he was lucky that Kusk didn’t shoot an open opportunity inside the frame, then Vertonghen and Van Crombrugge had to set themselves apart.
The first did it with life and limbs. The red devil got a ball in his face and saw the stars.
In the last minutes, Van Kromburg kept Anderlecht alive. With a decisive tackle on Tungstedt’s attempt, he ditched the criticism of the past few weeks.
Raman replaced Purple & White with a tag in overtime. Anderlecht will spend the winter in Europe for the first time since 2016. The opponent in the 1/16 finals comes from the Europa League.
