This Wednesday, Standard won once morest Beerschot (1-0) in an alignment match of the 19th day of D1A. Thanks to a goal from Dragus (34th) and despite the expulsion of Dussenne (52nd), the Rouches give themselves some air and now have a nine-point lead over the barrage Seraing.
Luka Elsner was obviously satisfied at the end of the meeting. “We are obviously happy given that it’s a breath of fresh air. Everything started on the right track and then we took a red card. But we were able to hold on with real team values and solidarity. All the players and even those on the bench, transmitted something collective and good. And this victory is deserved in this sense”, confided the T1 of the Rouches at the end of the meeting.
The people of Liège, reduced to ten at the start of the second period, resisted once morest Antwerpers ready to pick up the score during the few minutes of hesitation following the exit of Noë Dussenne. “We had a problem for ten minutes following the exclusion. There was a series of situations the time before we might make the change and come back to five behind. The red card? “We have to review the images. I’m told it’s slight but if it was confirmed by the VAR it means there was something. It ends well today and so much the better,” said Elsner.
