Hassan celebrates his goal with Boussoufa

Egyptian star Ahmed Hassan played his first official game this season tonight as Anderlecht faced Club Brugge in the Super Cup.

The game ended in a delightful win for the league champions as they managed to end the game in a 3-1 win.

Anderlecht were the better side in the game as they created many chances to score and controlled the midfield area. They were lucky to score early on through Boussoufa who scored after a few minutes from the kick off. The goal came through a freekick from a narrow angle where Boussoufa decided to shoot instead of crossing and the ball ended into the back of the net leaving the goalkeeper dumbfounded.


Boussoufa scored after 4 minutes

After the goal Brugge tried to come back into the game and they almost drew from a counter attacking move which was led by their best player, Balaban.

Brugge relied on counter attacks and shooting from outside the area but Zitka did well with all the long range shots.

On the other side, Hassan created a great chance for Anderlecht from which they could add a second goal. The Egyptian sent a terrific through pass to the onside Mohamed Tchite who had only the goalkeeper to beat but he sent the ball into the body of the goalkeeper.

Minutes later, Anderlecht managed to double their lead through Mbo Mpenza who headed home after a fine cross by Boussoufa.


In the 2nd half, Mohamed Tchite wasted a couple of real chances that could decide the game for Anderlecht. In addition to this, Brugge looked more dangerous in the opening minutes of the 2nd half and managed to claw a goal back through a low shot from inside the box after a defensive error.

In the 70th minute, Hassan had a big chance to score when Van Damme crossed the ball from the left wing into the box, the Egyptian tried a volley shot but the ball come off the pitch and went just over the bar.


Hassan disappointed after missing the chance

After the goal, Brugge had a chance to get back into the game and level the score but the goalkeeper Zitka played a great role in keeping Brugge's danger at bay as he made two excellent saves.


Fine all round performance by Hassan in first official game

In the final minutes of the game, Mbo Mpenza and the unlucky Tchite came off and this gave Hassan the chance to go forward by himself. The Egyptian led a counter attack and advanced with the ball into Brugge's area, he passed low to Boussoufa and the latter acted unselfishly as he layed the ball back to Hassan who placed it gently with his right on the volley to make the score 3-1.

The win meant that Hassan's Anderlecht won the Belgian Super Cup for the 2nd season in a row.
