The Croky Cup, a goal for the Mauves
This season, Anderlecht aims to fight on all fronts, including in the Croky Cup, a trophy that the Brussels club does not neglect. The choices of coach David Hubert confirm this, since he fielded a competitive team without resorting to numerous rotations.
Westerlo commencement fort
The approach was different for the visitors. Although coach Timmy Simons announced that he wanted to play in the qualifier, he still decided to rotate his squad by making no less than seven changes. Despite this, Westerlo started the meeting well. From the 8th minute, Thomas Van den Keybus opened the scoring for the visitors.
But Anderlecht quickly reversed the trend. Mathias Zanka Jørgensen equalized, before Kasper Dolberg and Moussa Ndiaye made it 3-1 in favor of the Mauves.
The renaissance of Jørgensen
Mathias Zanka Jørgensen’s performance particularly attracted attention. Not only did the Danish defender score a crucial goal, but he was also impeccable in defense during the first half. A real revenge for the player, criticized a few weeks ago for his mistakes in the purple jersey.
With this first goal scored for Anderlecht, Jørgensen sparked many enthusiastic reactions on social networks, especially on “X”, where fans did not hesitate to highlight his spectacular transformation.
