Narrowly qualified in the Belgian Cup, Standard wanted to return to victory in the championship, a week after the slap suffered on the Antwerp pitch. Opposite, Sint-Truiden progressed under Felice Mazzu but remained in the red zone.
At the start of the match, the Rouches showed good intentions but lacked precision in the last gesture as shown by Price (5th) and O’Neil (8th). The pace then dropped for around twenty minutes, which allowed Saint-Trond to shake the stadium on the counterattack, without being sharp enough. We finally had to wait for the first shot on target to see the nets shake. Indeed, on an excellent cross from O’Neil, Zeqiri dove at the far post and deceived Kokubo (34th). In the process, the Canaries obtained a superb opportunity to equalize but Epolo intervened very well in front of Bertaccini (38th). In front of the scoreboard, Standard knew that everything was still playable and did not stop. If the second goal could have come from the feet of Alexandropoulos (41st), it was ultimately Zeqiri who hit the nail on the head thanks to a double from Zeqiri, from the penalty spot (45th + 1). Ivan Leko’s players then returned to the locker room with an interesting advantage in the scoreboard.
