Quick Facts Event, Anderlecht ...

Because of the construction of their new stadium, Anderlecht played their home games in the Heysel stadium in 1983, which included the first leg of the UEFA Cup final.^[3] After half an hour, Frank Vercauteren was able to provide a cross, which Kenneth Brylle headed in. Anderlecht travelled to Lisbon with the smallest lead.^[4]

Benfica started the return match with a series of chances. This resulted in a goal by Shéu in the 32nd minute. Only 6 minutes later, the technically skilled Juan Lozano restored the balance on a pass from Franky Vercauteren. In front of 80,000 spectators, Anderlecht was able to hold out, winning its fifth and so far last European title.^[5]
