Anderlecht Keep Clean Sheet Against Salzburg
Anderlecht welcomed Salzburg to Lotto Park in Bruxelles for Matchday 4 of the UEFA Europa League, with clear skies and a temperature of 6 degrees setting the stage. The hosts entered as clear pre-match favourites at 1.96, while Salzburg's 11.00 odds told the story of an uphill task. Vítor Bruno's side controlled the contest from the early stages, took the lead through Ludwig Augustinsson midway through the first half and never surrendered it, adding a second in stoppage time.
