for the Mauves, they can still hope to win a competition
this season as they managed to qualify to the cup semi-final
after a 1-1 draw with Dender (1-4 on aggregate).

Anderlecht qualified, now Ahmed Hassan's
club made it to the semi-final of the Belgian Cup after
they tied with Dender 1-1 in the second leg of the quarter
final. This was the side Sherif Ekramy rejected a move
to in the winter window. The big incident was the national
team captain's questioning of a fellow player's efforts
and he even asked to be taken off.
Anderlecht scored their goal through Bart Goor in the
17th minute, though Dender equalized in the last minute
of the game .
Hassan played from the beginning with Anderlecht for
the first time since his return from Egypt after the
African Cup of Nations, and also played the full game.
Anderlecht won the first leg against Dender 3-0, and
so qualified with an aggregate score of 4-1.
There was an incident between Hassan and Chatelle,
in which the Egyptian was very angry with the team-mate,
and even slammed the team in the dressing room for their
performance.
Anderlecht coach Ariel Jacobs gave a positive spin
on this incident, saying: "I think it is just good
that there are several leaders who stand up for the
team. It was a collective response towards players who
want to go off track," he said.
