BRUSSELS (Reuters) - KAA Gent goalkeeper Davy Roef saved twice to help his team win the Belgian Cup on Monday, edging Anderlecht 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw in the final at the King Baudouin Stadium.

Roef stopped the last two spot-kicks from his former team to earn Gent a fourth cup success and their first since 2010, denying Anderlecht coach Vincent Kompany the first trophy of his managerial career.
