Anderlecht won their first league game with 3-1 against newcomer Mouscron. After a good 20 minutes, rewarded with a goal, the pace dropped which allowed the visitors to equalise. Mitrovic and Suarez kept the 3 points in Brussels.


Anderlecht's start was good: the pace was high and the ball circulation accurate, which led to a bunch of corner kicks and chances in the first 15 minutes. A nice combination eventually led to the 1-0, scored by Acheampong. The pace dropped a little, though Mitrovic had an excellent chance to double the lead right before the break but his headed missed precision.

The second half was different. The home side felt all too comfortable with their one goal lead and left the initiative to Mouscron. Badri gave Anderlecht the needed wake-up call with his equaliser. And not much later, the visitors even had a unique chance to take the lead but goalkeeper Kaminski and the crossbar kept the scoreline level.

With Matias Suarez and Nathan Kabasele in the team, the Mauves got more offensive power. 15 minutes before the end, Mitrovic scored with a nice header. Minutes later, a good combination in the box put Suarez in scoring position. The Argentinian striker didn't fail: 3-1.
