Champions League - Anderlecht 1 PSV Eindhoven 0

First Published: Sep 19, 2000

Anderlecht recovered from last week's mauling by Manchester United to defeat Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven at home.

The game itself produced few chances until the 81st minute when Didier Dheedene launched a free kick that was deflected into the net past a stricken goalkeeper Ronald Waterreus.

Earlier Bart Goor had cleared a Yuri Nikiforov header from the goal line to keep Anderlecht in the match but Arnold Bruggink missed the best chance of the night to win the game for PSV.

Clean through on goal he shot wide as he approached a diving Filip De Wilde and it proved the Belgians' night.
