Augustinsson's free kick opens the scoring
Anderlecht took the lead in the 20th minute through Ludwig Augustinsson, who struck a free kick with his left foot. The shot cleared the Salzburg wall and went into the net past Christian Zawieschitzky, who was unable to move. Anderlecht dominated the opening period, and Lukas Ambros and Cvetkovic both had chances to extend the lead before half-time. Augustinsson's goal was his fourth for the club and his third in the Europa League, and it came in his 50th European match. Haris Tabakovic, Salzburg's captain, had little room to work in the first half.
Salzburg press after the break
Anderlecht allowed Salzburg more of the ball after the restart, but the visitors created little danger at first. About 20 minutes from time Tabakovic headed a corner a metre over the goal. Five minutes before the end, Drexler had a big chance to equalise for Salzburg, but the shot struck Coosemans in the face and Anderlecht stayed ahead. Earlier in the match VAR had ruled out a goal by Marten Winkler. Anderlecht coach Vitor Bruno's side then had to hold on through a tense final quarter of an hour.
Winkler's late winner
In the closing minutes Anderlecht broke quickly, and Marten Winkler, through alone on goal, finished in the 90th minute. The strike confirmed the 2-0 scoreline and ended Salzburg's late push. Salzburg had thrown players forward in the final quarter of an hour, but Anderlecht held firm without conceding. Winkler had earlier had a goal disallowed, and this time his chance came on the counter.
Table and next fixtures
Anderlecht have six points from four Europa League matches after two wins in a row, and they sit above Red Bull Salzburg, who have four points.
