Anderlecht and Vincent Kompany are playing the single prize game and a European ticket. RSCA sealed everything smoothly with Eupen in the second leg of the Croky Cup semi-finals. On the Easter holiday (April 16, 17 or 18) AA Gent is the discount.
Anderlecht – Eupen in a nutshell:
- Key moment: Barely 23 seconds into the second half, Kwame gave Anderlecht a comfortable 3-1 lead. Shortly thereafter, a poor pass from Gomez Brevliak gives Eupen the opportunity to put Eupen back into the match, but Van Kromberg cleverly stopped that.
- man of the match: Two penalties in the first leg and two assists in the second leg. Yuor Rafailov can largely take credit for qualifying for the cup final. Murillo set his way to the opening goal tonight and with a superb cross pass, the Israeli offered Kuame a 3-1 liberation.
- noticeable: Anderlecht reached the cup final for the first time since 2015. Then it fell to arch-rival Club Brugge with a late goal by Rafailov. The last victory in the Purple and White Cup dates back to 2008. Then Anderlecht defeated, yes, AA Gent.
Murillo and Magellan outside the maximum defense weakness
The shortest way to Europe, the shortest way to get the first prize in five years. Anderlecht knew what was at stake tonight against Joppen. The match couldn’t have started better for Purple & White. Murillo got plenty of space from a corner kick from Rafaelov and headed the ball after just 5 minutes.
But just as in the first leg, Anderlecht took the lead early just as quickly. Privliak then equalized 10 minutes after Rafailov’s opening goal, and now had Jöppen next to him again barely 5 minutes after the score was 1-0. With a good dose of luck, his shot veered to Magallan, leaving Van Crombrugge without a chance.
The The unfortunate Magellan himself arranged things in half an hour. Yubin allowed himself
Again a corner kick and the Argentine made the most of his freedom. Noureddine touched the ball, but was unable to thwart the second goal.
Traffic remained one-way at Lotto Park, but Anderlecht could not attract any opportunities from that dominance in the field. The best of which is Kwame at close range. The minor Eupen manages to maintain tension despite his role as an extra.
Kouamé slaps Eupen KO
Immediately after the break, this tension melted like snow in the sun. The second half was less than half a minute long when the outstanding player Rafailov drew the ball perfectly on Kouamé’s header and headed 3-1 very cleverly out of Noureddine’s reach.
The match played, although Gomez nearly made it exciting with a thrilling pass on Van Cromburg. Privlejak sniffed his chance to score again, but was met with a superb save by the Anderlecht goalkeeper.
With that, the hardest part is over at Purple & White. The home team maintained a tight grip on matters, and Yubin was unable to offer any resistance. The match also ended in a secondary way for the visitors when Nuhu got a second yellow card in the final stage.
Over the Easter weekend, for example, we got a fresh copy of the 2008 Cup Final. Then Anderlecht got their last cup win, more than 14 years later, Purple & White finally got another chance to win the cup.
