Anderlecht won 2–1 on aggregate.[1][2] Because of the construction of their new stadium, Anderlecht played their home games in the Heysel stadium in 1983, which included the first leg of the UEFA Cup final.[3] After half an hour, [Frank Vercauteren](/source/Franky_Vercauteren) was able to provide a cross, which [Kenneth Brylle](/source/Kenneth_Brylle) headed in. Anderlecht travelled to Lisbon with the smallest lead.[4] Benfica started the return match with a series of chances. This resulted in a goal by [Shéu](/source/Sh%C3%A9u) in the 32nd minute. Only 6 minutes later, the technically skilled [Juan Lozano](/source/Juan_Lozano) restored the balance on a pass from [Franky Vercauteren](/source/Franky_Vercauteren). In front of 80,000 spectators, Anderlecht was able to hold out, winning its fifth and so far last European title.[5] ## Route to the final Further information: [1982–83 UEFA Cup](/source/1982%E2%80%9383_UEFA_Cup) Anderlecht Round Benfica Opponent Agg. 1st leg 2nd leg Opponent Agg. 1st leg 2nd leg KPT Kuopio 6–1 3–0 (H) 3–1 (A) First round Real Betis 4–2 2–1 (H) 2–1 (A) Porto 6–3 4–0 (H) 2–3 (A) Second round Sporting Lokeren 4–1 2–0 (H) 2–1 (A) FK Sarajevo 6–2 6–1 (H) 0–1 (A) Third round FC Zürich 5–1 1–1 (A) 4–0 (H) Valencia 5–2 2–1 (A) 3–1 (H) Quarter-finals Roma 3–2 2–1 (A) 1–1 (H) Bohemians Praha 4–1 1–0 (A) 3–1 (H) Semi-finals Universitatea Craiova 1–1 (a) 0–0 (H) 1–1 (A) ## Match details ### First leg 4 May 1983 Anderlecht 1–0 Benfica Brylle 29' Report Overview (archive) Overview [Heysel Stadium](/source/Heysel_Stadium), [Brussels](/source/Brussels) Attendance: 52,694 Referee: [Bogdan Dochev](/source/Bogdan_Dochev) ([Bulgaria](/source/Bulgarian_Football_Union)) Anderlecht Benfica GK 1 Jacky Munaron RB 2 Wim Hofkens CB 3 Luka Peruzović CB 4 Morten Olsen LB 5 Michel De Groote RM 6 Per Frimann CM 10 Ludo Coeck CM 8 Franky Vercauteren (c) LM 11 Juan Lozano CF 7 Erwin Vandenbergh 78' CF 9 Kenneth Brylle Substitutes: FW 12 Alex Czerniatynski 78' Manager: Paul Van Himst GK 1 Manuel Bento RB 2 Minervino Pietra CB 3 Frederico Rosa 78' CB 4 Humberto Coelho (c) LB 5 Álvaro Magalhães RM 6 Carlos Manuel CM 7 José Luís 75' CM 8 Shéu LM 9 Fernando Chalana CF 10 Zoran Filipović 68' CF 11 Diamantino Miranda Substitutes: MF 13 Nené 68' MF 12 Bastos Lopes 78' Manager: Sven-Göran Eriksson ### Second leg 18 May 1983 Benfica 1–1 Anderlecht Shéu 32' Report Overview (archive) Overview Lozano 38' [Estádio da Luz](/source/Est%C3%A1dio_da_Luz_(1954)), [Lisbon](/source/Lisbon) Attendance: 80,000 Referee: [Charles Corver](/source/Charles_Corver) ([Netherlands](/source/Royal_Dutch_Football_Association)) Benfica Anderlecht GK 1 Manuel Bento RB 2 Minervino Pietra CB 3 Humberto Coelho (c) CB 4 Bastos Lopes LB 5 António Veloso 62' DM 6 Carlos Manuel CM 7 Glenn Strömberg CM 8 Shéu 50' AM 11 Diamantino Miranda CF 9 Fernando Chalana CF 10 Nené Substitutes: MF 13 Zoran Filipović 50' MF 12 João Alves 62' Manager: Sven-Göran Eriksson GK 1 Jacky Munaron RB 3 Luka Peruzović CB 5 Walter De Greef CB 2 Hugo Broos LB 4 Morten Olsen RM 6 Michel De Groote CM 7 Per Frimann CM 11 Juan Lozano LM 10 Ludo Coeck CF 8 Franky Vercauteren (c) CF 9 Erwin Vandenbergh 78' Substitutes: FW 12 Kenneth Brylle 78' Manager: Paul Van Himst ## See also - [1983 European Cup final](/source/1983_European_Cup_final) - [1983 European Cup Winners' Cup final](/source/1983_European_Cup_Winners'_Cup_final) - [S.L.
