The beautiful series of Standard suddenly stopped this Friday evening during the 10th day of the Pro League. After four consecutive victories, including a resounding success against Club Brugge before the international break, the Standardmen lost in the Liège derby against a surprising team from Seraing (0-2). Mbow (9′) then Box (54 ‘) took advantage of the defensive largesse of the Rouches to punish the Matricule 16. Thanks to this victory, the Steelworkers give themselves air in the classification (14th with 9 points) while the Standard falls back to earth.
It was a Standard, visibly a little sleepy, who entered the lawn of Sclessin this Friday evening. Like Melegonitenured for the first time by Share. Loaned by Genoa, the Italian is not there and offers the opener to the Sérésiens following a terrible discount in the axis. It is Mbow, central defender, who is on the receiving end of this bad pass and who places a magnificent flat foot under the batten of Bodart (0-1, 9′).
Very eye-catching, the Steelworkers came very close to a second goal after another error from Liège but Bodart’s right post pushed back the heavy strike from Marsoni Sambu. The Standard can blow. At the half-hour, the Rouches get their best opportunity from the feet of A wigalso lined up for the first time. Raskinthe only player on the Liège side who is evolving at his level, snatches a ball in the opposing half of the field and launches the great Croatian striker who misses his face to face with Dietsch.
The Rouches, led, return to the locker room with their heads bowed. While we expected a reaction from Liège in the second period, it was again Seraing who took advantage of a new defensive error to plant a second goal. This time it’s Dussenne, too tender, which lets Poaty pass towards Bodart’s goal. The left back then tries his luck and deceives the opposing goalkeeper to score his first goal in the colors of Seraing (0-2, 54′).
Standard will never recover. Amallah et Zinc nailwho had delighted their supporters against Bruges the previous day, never managed to make the difference against a Seraing team more motivated than the locals this evening.
