Anderlecht qualified for the next round in the Cup. The Mauves needed extra time though to get past second division club Patro Eisden. After 90 minutes the scoreline was 3-3. Mitrovic and Conté scored in extra time.


The last few years, Anderlecht's performance in the Cup hadn't been all too good at all. And also yesterday it wasn't different. Despite taking an early lead thanks to a penalty converted by Kabasele, Patro Eisden quickly equalised after a mistake in the defence. Without playing well, Kabasele (on penalty again) and Acheampong brought the visitors on a safe 1-3 lead.

But after the break, Eisden came back to 3-3 in just six minutes time after weak defending. By the end of the game, Anderlecht finally woke up again. Acheampong scored 3-4 but the linesman had incorrectly flagged for offside. Extra time was needed to separate both teams. After 108 minutes of play, Mitrovic scored 3-4. In the very last seconds, Conté dribbled past three Eisden defenders and the goalkeeper to easily score the 3-5.

In the next round, second division club Racing Mechelen awaits. Racing eliminated Racing Genk yesterday with 0-1.
