Anderlecht 1 - 0 Olympiakos Piraeus: Kara Mbodji goal gives Anderlecht narrow lead over Olympiacos
Posted Friday, February 19, 2016 by PA
Kara Mbodji's controversial strike saw Anderlecht overcome Olympiacos 1-0 in the first leg of this Europa League last-32 tie.
Former West Brom striker Brown Ideye hit the post early on in Brussels, where Olympiacos bossed the shot and possession statistics.
However, Anderlecht ensured they would head to Greece boasting a one-goal lead thanks to Mbodji's 67th-minute goal.
Olympiacos goalkeeper Roberto flapped at a corner from ex-Manchester United full-back Alexander Buttner, with the defender capitalising by turning home acrobatically.
It looked like the goal could be disallowed for a foul but, after consulting the linesman and lengthy discussions, referee Ivan Bebek awarded Mbodji's effort.
