Clasico stopped: the prosecution calls for a suspended match behind closed doors for Standard, the Liégeois refuse the sanction

Clasico interrupted: Anderlecht want reprieve and no games behind closed doors at home

Standard did not deny the fact that its supporters used smoke bombs but insisted that they did not hinder the good performance of the match. Regarding the provocation of the players, Standard sees a shared fault because they consider that the RSCA players have made things worse.

The Rouches refused the suspended sentence and consider that they have done everything to avoid post-match fights. “The Anderlecht supporters did not want to stay in their bus, says the club’s lawyer. They wanted to see their management. They were outside the bus to make a mess. Nothing might have avoided the incidents and the action Liège police and Standard stewards limited the damage. The provocation of Anderlecht supporters must be taken into consideration. We therefore ask not to take this sanction.”
