Anderlecht and Hassan are out of the Champions League
as the side lost at home by two goals to nil in their
home clash with Fenerbahce. Anderlecht conceded an early
goal and couldn't reply despite hitting the bar twice
in the first half. In the 2nd half, things got even
worse as Alex scored another goal for the guests to
end the game in a 0-2 defeat for Hassan's side (0-3
on aggregate).

Hassan's Anderlecht failed to advance to the group stages
of the prestigious Champions League and will continue
in the UEFAA cup instead after a disappointing 0-2 home
loss to Fenerbahce ion Wednesday night.
Hassan played a full match against Fenerbahce but couldn't
help Anderlecht with the result. The Mauves suffered
an early goal which came through Mateja Kezman in the
opning minutes of the game and the homeside failed to
recover from the early shock and counce back into the
game.
Fenerbahce were the better side in the game as they
contolled the rythm of gameplay thanks to their experienced
world class players, Alex, Roberto Carlos, and Kezman.
On the other side, Anderlecht were unlucky as they
hit the bar twice in the first half but the homeside,
appeared clearly out of shape and clearly lacked the
quality and experience.
Hassan's performance was OK. He won alot of fouls and
linked considerable well with his teammates but none
of his passes or shot caused a threat on goal.
The Egyptian admitted that conceding an early goal
at home made things alot harder for the home team.
"The game could not start worse for us. We gave
away a goal just minutes into the game. That goal destabilised
us completely. A quick goal would've gotten us into
the match again, but we weren't lucky with two balls
hitting the crossbar."
