Anderlecht started the season with a strong second half to win their first home game. In the second round of the Europa League, they defeated Hammarby 3-1 after a difficult start. Coach Vitor Bruno was pleased: 'Our second half was really very good.'
What happened in the match?
The first half was tough for Anderlecht, but after the break they took control. Substitute Cvetkovic was the matchwinner and set the team on the path to victory. Bruno: 'If he always plays like that as a substitute, he will always start on the bench.'
Why is this important for Anderlecht?
The win is a good start to the new season, especially after a disappointing 2025 campaign. Anderlecht finished fourth in the Jupiler Pro League last year with 33 points, 24 points behind Club Brugge KV. The team now needs a positive start.
What comes next?
Anderlecht will play their next match at home against RAAL La Louvière on August 9. The team hopes to continue the good form from the second half of the Hammarby match.
