Welsh Premier League Football - Saints' boss watches Belgian cup win

BELGIAN champions RSC Anderlecht warmed-up for their Champions League qualifier against The New Saints with a 1-0 Super Cup victory over KAA Gent.
A goal from talented midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate just after the half-hour proved decisive on Friday night.
The hosts took the lead on 31 minutes with a trademark lightning-quick counter attack when Lucas Biglia threaded a pass through to Kouyate, who kept his cool and slotted the ball past keeper Jorgacevic.
Saints' manager Mike Davies watched the game ahead of the first leg of the third qualifying round tie at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground on Tuesday night and was impressed by the Anderlecht display as well as the superb Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in the Belgian capital.
Anderlecht have four Argentinians and a Brazilian striker in a multi-national squad, which also includes the two highest-paid footballers in the domestic league.
Mbark Boussoufa is a three-times winner of the Belgian footballer of the year award, who has also won the domestic Golden Boot and joined Anderlecht in a €3.5 million transfer deal.
Midfielder Jan Polak, who made his return from an injury lay-off as a substitute in last night's game, is a Czech Republic international who played alongside Petr Čech and Milan Baroš for the Under-21s, and was transferred from Czech Premier League team Slovan Liberec for a fee of €1,500,000 to Nuremberg in the Bundesliga, before arriving at RSCA in August 2007 in a €3.5 million deal, the second most expensive transfer in Anderlecht's history.
