Cercle and Standard share the points

Coach Muslic more or less retains confidence in the same team as in the victory against AA Gent last week. Only Majecki takes his place between the posts again after 2 weeks of absence, Warleson has to settle for a spot on the bench.

The Association, with four West Flemish people in the base, has had a difficult start. Standard starts eagerly, Marlon Fossey, among others, makes it quite difficult for the Cercle defense a few times. After the opening fifteen minutes, the home team gets a little more grip on the game. The first half, however, does not bring much. Both teams struggle to create chances.

After rest more of the same. Lots of fighting and grinta on both sides, but few real chances.

Still no goal

Standard breaks the spell. The visitors opened the score around the 70th minute. Canak runs deep down the right side and crosses towards Perica in the center. The striker heads the leather against the ropes. The VAR intervenes, Canak is just offside with his shoulder when he gets the ball. The goal is disallowed.

VAR check bis

Referee Bert Put is called to the VAR screen for the second time in ten minutes. Daland would have hit the ball with his arm in his own sixteen after a kick from Zinckernagel. Put agrees with the VAR, the ball hits the spot. It is Zinckernagel himself who converts the eleven meter, 0-1.

World Goal Ueda

In added time it is 1-1 out of the blue. Ueda takes the ball to his chest and hits the turn in one go. Bodart has no chance.

After the equalizer, things are quiet again. Both teams have to settle for a point.
