Anderlecht achieved an imporant home win over Ghent
by two goals to one. Egyptian star Ahmed Hassan played
the full match and made a superb assist for Frutos to
score the 2nd goal for the home side. Hassan laid the

latter made no mistake and scored.
Egyptian star Ahmed Hassan helped his
side emerge victorious in their home clash with Gent
as he assisted the second goal which came in the first
half through Argentinean forward Nicholas Frutos.
Hassan didn't only assist the 2nd goal but he was close
to score two goals for the Mauves. The Egyptian couldn't
convert in both chances though as he sent the ball over
the bar in the first chance after three minutes from
the kick off while he sent it just wide in his second
attempt.
The victory put Anderlecht in the 4th position in the
table but they still have a lot of work to do to claim
the top spot again.
The homeside started the game with pressure since the
kick off and Hassan wasted a good chance in the 3nd
minute when the ball was crossed low to him inside the
box, the Egyptian couldn't hit the target with his left
as he sent the ball just over the bar.
I the 15th minute, Legear managed to put the Mauves
ahead when he received the ball in the right side of
the box and sent a bullet drive into the back of the
net to make the score 1-0 for Anderlecht.
Midway though the first half, Hassan got another chance
to score when the ball sent long to him in the box,
the Egyptian tried to hit the ball home on the volley
with his right but it went just wide.
In the 44th minute, the ball was played long into the direction
of Hassan in the area, the Egyptian spotted Frutos free from
marking in front of goal and sent a m,agical pass to him with
his backheel and Frutos sent the ball into the back of the
net and went to thank the Egyptian Hassan for his superb assist.
The 2nd half was alot more quiet than the first as Anderlecht
already led by two goals in the first and so, much less chances
werre created.
It should be noted that the guests managed to claw a goal
back in the first miunte of the second half through Gonzales
but Anderlecht defender their lead and won the three points
in the end.
