Home team Standard found themselves with one more man after 21 minutes, after the red card for Nnadi, following a vicious tackle on the ankle of Ibrahim Karamoko. Referee Lawrence Visser had first produced a yellow card, but after viewing the images had to exchange that yellow card for a red one.
Afterwards there was pressure from the home team, but there were no big chances. After the break the best chance was still for the visitors. However, Matthieu Epolo made a great save on a goal from seasonal revelation Jeppe Erenbjerg. With the end of the match in sight, Ilaimaharitra had to use the emergency brake to keep Anosike Ementa from scoring a goal.
This afternoon, Cercle Brugge will visit Union and tonight Club Brugge will host Sporting Charleroi.
