It remains for Standard supporters to wait for a reassuring victory. The match against Charleroi was full of tension and small disturbances at the end, but there were no goals. Charleroi can forget about the Champions Play-off. Standard does not get lost at the bottom.
Charleroi – Standard in a nutshell
Key moment: Between the splashing testosterone of two riots, a shot by Sissako hits the post. A late goal would almost certainly have given Standard the three points, but it remained a fair division of points.
Man of the Match: Standard appealed against the red suspension of Noë Dussenne and did not regret it. The captain led the fight, throwing life and limb a few times to block a shot.
Remarkable: Since the departure of top scorer Nicholson, Charleroi has completely lost its way to goal. In their nine games this calendar year, the Carolos have only scored seven times. Then you don’t belong in the Champions Play-off.
Power Switch: With four match days from the end it is certain: Charleroi will finish above Standard in the standings this season. The difference is currently 14 points, never more than ten points at the end of the stage.

second half, minute 80. Riot. A projectile from Charleroi’s spy head has landed on the field. Moments later, the dolls start dancing on the field. There is pulling and pushing and it takes a while before the tempers calm down. †
