Ghanaian forward Francis Amuzu scored his first goal of the season for Anderlecht in their 3-1 victory against Mechelen on Saturday.

The match, part of matchday four of the Belgian Pro League, took place at the Veoliastadion Achter De Kazerne.

Lion Lauberbach initially put Mechelen in the lead with a left-footed strike from the edge of the box in the 23rd minute.

Amuzu's fellow Ghanaian, Majeed Ashimeru, did not play and remained an unused substitute for Anderlecht.

Just before halftime, Ludwig Augustinsson equalized for Anderlecht with a close-range shot to the bottom left corner, assisted by Zanka from a corner kick.

Five minutes into the second half, Amuzu regained Anderlecht's lead with a precise shot from a difficult angle, assisted by Yari Verschaeren after another corner.

Théo Leoni sealed the victory for Anderlecht with a close-range finish to the bottom right corner, set up by a through ball from Mario Stroeykens.
