Even after 6 match days, Standard still has to wait for a first three-pointer in the play-offs. The Rouches had to share the spoils with STVV on Saturday evening, after a 1-1 draw.

Standard – STVV in a nutshell:

  • Key moment: In the very last minute, Standard sees a penalty missed by the VAR. So it remains to wait for a victory for Leko and co.
  • Man of the match: He held his own before half time and excelled afterwards with his attacking capabilities. Panzo was the best man on the field.
  • Remarkable: Standard draws for the fifth time in a row. Equaling the club record twenty years ago.
  • Statistics: STVV would like to go to Liège. The Limburgers have not lost six games in a row in Sclessin. Standard’s last victory dates from August 2018.

STVV is clinical, Standard is easy

There is little at stake for both Standard and STVV this season. A moment of loss of concentration quickly happened.

After just two minutes, Yeboah was almost able to take advantage of sloppy defending. Van Helden gave back too weakly to Suzuki. He kicked right into the rush. The rebound bounced just wide.

There were a lot fewer sloppy things afterwards, and STVV also started to play nice football at times.

A clever attack over many stations ended up at Ogawa around the fifteen minute mark. The Japanese shot the ball past debutant Epolo in two attempts.

The lead was a fact and the Limburgers retreated to their own half. However, an easy Standard did not get much further than a few chances.

The fact that Djenepo was taken off before half-time was indicative.

Day and night

We don’t know what Ivan Leko said during the break. But it was immediately clear that it had an effect. Standard started the second period like crazy.

Each time the danger came from the flanks, via Panzo or Price. STVV got away very well when Van Helden saw a sharp cross bounce through his leg onto the post, and not into his own goal.

But around the hour mark the deserved equalizer was finally achieved. Panzo was completely alone at a corner kick and was able to easily score the 1-1 goal.

The pace then disappeared somewhat from the match, until it crescendoed again in the last minute.

Sclessin jumped up when referee Boterberg gave a penalty for a handball by Janssens. But a minute later the VAR (correctly) reversed the decision due to a pushing error by Kanga.

So no victory at the last minute. Standard remains without a win in the Play-offs.

Phase by phase

END: 1-1

End of the match. No penalty and therefore no winner. Standard remains without a win in the Play-offs. STVV makes peace with the division of points.

No penalty!

While Yeboah and Kanga argue about who gets to take the penalty, Boterberg goes to the screen. Result: pushing error on Janssens. The decision is reversed.

Penalty!

There was still a chance! Canak throws a cross into the box. Wolke Janssens jumps into the game and hits the ball with his arm. Penalty!

Not a shot, but a cross. Smets can easily relieve.

4 – extra time

An extra 4 minutes will be added.

Standard scores another free kick in an interesting spot, about five meters outside the sixteen.

Will another winning goal fall from the sky? It doesn’t seem like it for now. With this score, Standard equals a club record: five matches in a row.

Substitute Canak is also looking forward to it. With a flashy dribble he puts Vanwesemael on the wrong foot. His shot is a lot less and ends up in a bunch of legs.

Ito tries again. This time substitute Fossey throws himself in front of the ball.

There was STVV again. Ito squeezes past a defender on the edge of the box and is able to take a swing while stumbling. Not a bad attempt, but narrowly wide.

A 45 second raid

Substitute Steuckers gets the ball for the first time and advances. Panzo converts into a corner, but the Belgian remains on the ground afterwards. Immediately game over. The attacker clearly landed badly and had to be helped off the field.
