Anderlecht, coached by Portuguese Vítor Bruno, from Coimbra, suffered a heavy defeat on the field of Union Saint-Gilloise, losing 3-0. The match was played this Sunday and corresponded to the third round of the Belgian football league.

This was Anderlecht's second defeat in the Belgian league, showing a problematic start to the season for the team coached by the Portuguese manager. The expressive 3-0 result reflects the poor performance of the visiting team.

Vítor Bruno, former player and now coach, thus faces a challenging start to his tenure at the Belgian club, which historically is one of the most decorated in Belgium. The heavy away defeat against Union Saint-Gilloise represents a harsh blow to the team's aspirations in this edition of the league.
