Ahmed Hassan scored to help Belgian champions Anderlecht claim the local Super Cup for the second successive season after beating Club Brugge 3-1 on Saturday.

Moroccan midfielder Mbark Boussoufa put Anderlecht ahead as early as the fourth minute before veteran striker Mbo Mpenza doubled the lead seven minutes before the interval.

Club Brugge's Dusan Djokic pulled one back in the 49th minute to give his side a lifeline.

However, just when Brugge were mounting pressure on Anderlecht to grab the equalizer, Egypt skipper Hassan notched the third one minute from time to kill off the opponents' hopes.

The Belgium Super Cup is Hassan's third trophy with Anderlecht since joining the club from Turkey's Besiktas in the summer of 2006.

Anderlecht open their Belgian League defense against newly-promoted side Y.R. K.V. Mechelen on the fourth of August.
