The first big possibility Carolo falls (finally) in the 66th minute. A catastrophic recovery from Price arrives at Sylla, who finds himself alone in front of Epolo. The Liège goalkeeper gains the upper hand over his opponent.
Standard then missed out on 3-0. Zeqiri puts the ball over the Charleroi crossbar. Standard won a penalty 10 minutes from time, following a foul on Camara. Eckert Ayensa’s soft shot was repelled by Koné.
Sporting, uninspired for 90 minutes, reduced the gap in stoppage time via Mbenza. The last seconds are intense, but Standard logically wins in this Walloon duel.
This is the first success for the Principalities at home since August 25, against Beerschot. In the ranking, Rouches are now 9th with 15 units, they are one point ahead of Charleroi.
