Anderlecht – Hammarby FF

Anderlecht turned a home fixture into a decisive statement, beating Hammarby FF 3‑1 to climb to seventh place with ten points from six matches (four wins, one draw, two defeats, a 4‑5 goal tally). The Swedish visitors, languishing at 108th with just a single point after two games, could only muster a solitary goal and remain winless. The result also tipped the head‑to‑head balance this season in Anderlecht’s favour, after the two sides had previously drawn. The three‑goal margin not only reinforced the Belgian club’s push for European spots but also widened the gulf between the two clubs in the league hierarchy.
