Upon returning from the locker room, Mikautadze played a balancing act in front of Leistner but crossed his shot too much after eliminating Captain Trudonnaire (55th). The situation was unblocked about twenty minutes later when Field, barely started playing, belted bruls in the area of Seraing and provoked a penalty. The Belgian midfielder did himself justice by converting the penalty after long minutes of reviewing the video arbitration (2-1, 78th). In the final moments, the steelworkers’ assaults allowed Saint-Trond to score a third goal on the counter-attack, from a header from Hara, served par Durkin (3-1, 90e+5).
Beerschot, for its part, won 3-1 against OHL. The Louvanists opened the scoring (writers, 8th). The Antwerpers then took over: we read 24e, Judgment 38th and Van den Bergh 90e.
STVV climbs to 11th place in the standings, 6 points from play-offs 2 with 27 points. Seraing stagnates in 17th place as a play-off with only 19 points in 23 games, 4 points behind Ostend (22 games), 15th, and Zulte Waregem (21 games), 16th. Beerschot remains last (12 points) and will move on Wednesday … to Seraing.
