Slip for Club Brugge in the hunt for Union. On a visit to Standard, blue-black did not go further than a draw. It was especially possible to thank Bast Dost for that point – the Dutchman made up for a deficit twice. In the end, Jack Hendry took red and the home team left the 3-2 behind.
- Key moment: In the final minutes, Standard goes looking for the victory with one more man. After an action by Carcela, Nkounkou has the winning goal at his feet, but Mata, who has returned excellently, saves the Frenchman’s shot on the goal line.
- Man of the match: Bas Dost was little involved in the combinations, but was twice in the right place to score the equalizer. Three goals in two games for the Dutchman since Schreuder took office: has Dost been fully launched at Club again?
- Remarkable: Even without the fiery audience in the stands, Club Brugge is unable to take the full loot in Liège. It has been January 2017 since Club was able to win again at Sclessin. Since then, Standard has been unbeaten at home for 9 games against Blauw-Zwart: 4 wins and 5 draws.
Standard can’t hold on to early lead
Club Brugge dominated the start of the match and already found their way to the goal in minute 8. After an unparalleled attack through the heart of the Standard defence, Noa Lang scored the 0-1, but the party was canceled due to Dost’s offside.
Immediately afterwards, Standard surprised with a quick counterattack. Dønnum served Cafaro, who took Mignolet down with one shot in one time. A cold shower for Club, which had to chase after a strong start.
The visitors were also boss in the match with a 1-0 score. Club created a handful of chances, but Bodart and the post kept Standard straight. Only at the end of the first half did the home team crack: Vanaken provided the perfect assist for Dost, who put the 1-1 on the board with his head.
Club escapes in the final phase after red for Hendry
The scenario of the first half was repeated after the break, although the goals came a little faster this time. After just three minutes, Club had to chase again because of Emond’s 2-1, but Dost stuck his second of the afternoon against the ropes before the hour.
Club seemed to have the best papers to take the victory, but after the 2-2 attack they were less sharp. Standard, for its part, folded back en masse and lurked for the counter, but that approach didn’t yield much either.
However, the match still had a thrilling conclusion. After Hendry was shown a red card, both teams let go of the organization and there were still opportunities for both sides. Mata made a miraculous save on the line, De Ketelaere forgot to offer Dost his third.
