The Truiense supporters were finally allowed to return to their beloved Stayen, but the fun was over after 7 minutes. Leistner missed a free kick by Morioka and Russo, who was too far out of his goal, also had butter on the head. Zaroury took advantage and headed in the 0-1 over the goalkeeper.
Immediately the only ball between Charleroi’s posts in the first half. STVV did even worse with not one attempt within the target frame. Some long shots, yes, but nothing for Kamara to worry about.
Shortly after the break, STVV again escaped an early goal. Bessilé aimed a volley against the post from close by, although he turned out to be just offside. After that, Charleroi went into sleep mode and an eager STVV grew in the race.
Around the hour, the home team came close to scoring the equalizer twice. Kamara parried a far shot from Hara and moments later Koita aimed a free kick against the post. The Truiense pressure continued, but the home team did not come any closer to 1-1.
Still, it remained exciting until the end, because Charleroi failed to decide the match several times. Tchatchoua in particular wasted the chances, he aimed the best against the post. The 0-1 remained and so Charleroi knows what winning is after a 2 out of 12.
