However, the score remained on the board, so we had to be careful. Just when Anderlecht's threat subsided, first Dreyer showed himself dangerous again and a minute later Amuzu had his moment. The winger dribbled inside and kicked low into the short corner past goalkeeper Lapoukhov.
In the closing minutes, Stroeykens also hit the Dinamo Minsk goalkeeper, who played a strong match, and Degreef was allowed to step in.
