The New Saints FC saw their European dreams suffer a blow last night as they suffered a 3-1 loss at home to Anderlecht in their Champions League third qualifying tie. The Belgian champions got off to the perfect start when Sacha Kljestan gave them the lead in the seventh minute and things looked ominous for TNS as Jonathan Legear doubled the advantage 11 minutes later. But TNS did not let their heads drop and they went close twice in the first half before Craig Jones, who had narrowly missed one of those opportunities, brought them back into the game seven minutes after the interval. However, the Welsh outfit switched off and a free-kick was floated in towards the unmarked Matias Suarez, who headed in a third for Anderlecht. TNS now have a mountain to climb in the second leg on August 3. For the full report and reaction see today's Shropshire Star
