GAMES Purple-white has won a point in Liège. Anderlecht came behind after a weak first half, but fought back in the second half. The equalizer fell through Roofe, but a red card for Dewaele tempered the hope for more.


The home team immediately took a bright start against a young Anderlecht. Avenatti already had a good chance after just one minute, but Van Crombrugge immediately made a miracle save. Standard's storm continued for ten minutes and Cobbaut was responsible for the first purple-white danger with a header. Yet it was mainly the home team that kept creating danger: Lestienne was stopped by Van Crombrugge after 17 minutes. Eventually the deserved goal would fall, but only in minute 40. Amallah, who had previously missed a giant chance, was sent deep and defeated the Anderlecht goalie. The Purple & White went into the break without a shot between the posts and with a small backlog.

Anderlecht, with a strong Verschaeren, seemed to show itself differently in the second half. The visitors demanded the ball and Standard was released with a fright when Saelemaekers missed the ball in the sixteen. The attacking intentions were quickly stopped when Verschaeren injured his ankle and was taken to the hospital. Trebel replaced him.

The equalizer fell out of the blue after 66 minutes. A pass from Luckassen deviated along the way and Roofe was able to head in the equalizer. Standard lost it a bit, but was helped better in the game when Dewaele was shown yellow twice. The youngster had been struggling for quite a while with the attacking violence of the people of Liège and the red card was not entirely unexpected. With ten against eleven, the Belgian record champion limited himself to defending. Laifis and Lestienne still had some chances, but Van Crombrugge no longer had to perform miracles.
