GAMES Anderlecht lost yesterday with 0-4 in the Champions League. The Mauves played a good game and had several excellent chances in the first half, but forgot to score. PSG were efficient though and scored two before half time. The visitors made two more in the second half.

Anderlecht took a bad start and were already 0-1 behind after 3 minutes. Mbappé scored from a sharp angle through Sels' legs. Anderlecht took control over the match though and dominated for 20 minutes. Kums aimed right next to the goal, Areola stopped headers of Onyekuru and Teodorczyk and also stopped the effort of a broken through Onyukuru.

Sels stopped a shot of Neymar, but in the rebound Cavani scored.
