The walls of the modest Bravida ArenaHacken’s lair may tremble this Thursday evening. Not in the local locker room but on the side of visitors. Because, be sure, Besnik Hasi will push a famous shouting after the collective performance of the day.
Helplessly, the Brussels coach attended, from his touchline, the football parody offered by his players in the first half. For at least 35 minutes, Anderlecht did not exist. Ankylosed, dying, overwhelmed by the stake and a much more biting opponent. The purpose of Svanback At the half hour, on a Swedish counterattack, therefore did not surprise many people-probably not even Hasi-since it was ultimately only the right continuity of a one-way game start.
Back to the wall, frustrated and visibly pressed, Hasi therefore made two changes from the 35th minute. To tighten the bolts, no doubt. To send a message, especially too. Outputs Saliba et Vronincksarrivals of Light et Veschaeren.
A double change which, without revolutionizing the sometimes too stereotypical game of Sporting, provokes the expected electric shock. After a big opportunity for Verschaeren, Dolberg is mowed by an opponent in the surface. It’s light but the Danish does justice himself. It’s 1-1 and Anderlecht, aware of having come close to the track exit, breathes a big blow.
