The first classic of the season took place in the Belgian Jupiler League this weekend with Club
Brugge and Anderlecht fighting it out on Matchday 5 of the 2011-12 campaign.
Despite being reduced to ten men in the 74th minute when goalkeeper Colin Coosemans was sent off
for a second bookable offence it was the Flanders side who took the lead with just five minutes
remaining after Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe struck from the penalty spot.

On a day when a host of Americans Abroad had first-leg games in the playoff round of the UEFA
Europa League, Clint Dempsey had the best performance with a 90-minute outing in which he bagged a
brace.

Cottagers' passage to the next round.

That's Romelu via Twitter 57 minutes ago. Add to that an official piece on the RSC Anderlecht

about a year and a half ago: he started a match at the club level.
Agbossoumonde earned his first start for Djurgardens IF, and he went the distance in a 1-0
defeat to Malmo FF on Friday.
