A dominant Anderlecht performance was rewarded with Frank Acheampong's second-half goal as they saw off APOEL in the Europa League last 16.

Substitute Frank Acheampong scored with his first touch to seal a 1-0 second-leg win for Anderlecht as APOEL were beaten 2-0 on aggregate in the last 16 of the Europa League.

Nicolae Stanciu's away goal had secured victory in a tight first leg, but Anderlecht were more convincing in asserting their dominance back in Brussels, although they were made to wait for the breakthrough.

Early openings came and went for Lukasz Teodorczyk and APOEL were fortunate to head into the interval still level as goalkeeper Boy Waterman was worked time and time again.
