The matches between these two teams have increased to such an extent that they have become huge rivals. In the past everything has been experienced here. What can we expect next Sunday? Does Standard push Anderlecht from Rutten out of the top six or does Purple-White fight back?
Standard de Liège:
While always talking about Club and Genk Standard is actually the best team of the last five / ten matches in terms of points. It has so gradually climbed to place four in the standings with eleven points less than leader Genk. With the past of the Play-Offs, that also means that everything is still possible. Especially now that Standard has managed to get a very good shape. It had to say goodbye to stronghold Luyindama last week, who is headed for Galatasaray. He will most likely be replaced by Zino Vanheusden.
Last week it moved towards Antwerp. With the second place on the game, it was important for both Antwerp and Standard to take the three points. In a physical first half, the home team was especially entitled to the lead. Although we saw very few chances on the Bosuil. Led by an excellent Lamkel She was Antwerp the better team and perhaps earned the opening goal, but scoring did not work. Also on the other side it was only a bit of a meager chance. Lestienne saw his long shot flying far over goal. Marin did a little better, but could not frame his attempt either. Just before half-time there was still a disturbance between Luyindama and Lamkel Ze, after wet-walking of the latter. Blemish and the VAR decided not to intervene. Resting we did with 0-0. In the second half, the supporters present got to see a lot more spectacle. Standard came better and better in the match and then the light went all the way out at Antwerp. Borges escaped red and also Lamkel They are cooking all over. In less than two minutes, the midfielder, even better for the rest, faced two yellow cards. Lestienne benefited immediately and set Standard at 0-1. But there was suddenly Mbokani. The boom-long striker has been in high form in recent weeks and today he found his way to the net. He also called his ex-club with the equalizer, also the final score. Antwerp will skip (for the time being) over Club Brugge to second place. It counts with 42 points one more than the national champion. Standard follows two points from Antwerp.
Preud’Homme, Carcela and almost all of the Standard looked back at the game in a disillusioned way: “It is unfortunate that we do not take home the three points, we had everything in our hands to do that. But in view of the circumstances, it was an adult game for the team, do you like to see such matches? I do not, for the football artists this kind of matches is very difficult. ” Carcela for his part; “Of course I am disappointed that we do not take the three points home with us, we did not create enough chances and the goal we face is due to a lack of concentration, it is always hard to play against 10 people. a lot and they have very solid players, that we set a nice series without defeat, I’m still disappointed. ”
RSC Anderlecht:
They are afraid days for Anderlecht. It has never had to fight like that to get into Play-Off I and it should not think of it should play the Play-Off II. The many injured people still seem to be of great value to RSCA. It attracted Bolasie this week. It remains to be seen whether he will kick off on Sunday. Everything as a player of size, just like Standard Halilovic attracted. Last week Anderlecht did well against a Eupen that was in shape.
After his missed debut in Ghent, Anderlecht coach Fred Rutten had to put things right for his own audience. His undefeated team, with the young Verschaeren in the midfield, eagerly started the game, but big chances did not deliver that immediately. Eupen goalkeeper Van Crombrugge had little trouble with the shots of Kums and Saelemaekers. After fifteen minutes of one-way traffic, Eupen also squeaked across the street, albeit without being really dangerous. In the meantime, Anderlecht created some chances, but the sharpness was lacking to bring Van Crombrugge into trouble. On the half hour it suddenly became very quiet in the Astridpark. Defender Gnaka jerked a long way and put Fall on the way to the goal. He remained eye-to-eye with Didillon very calm and pushed the surprising 0-1 into goal. Almost before the break it was completely wrong for Anderlecht. Didillon just played in Fall’s feet, who quickly played Toyokawa. The Japanese was too surprised to finish. The reaction of the home team came in the name of Verschaeren, who aimed a free shot at the goalkeeper. Shortly after the break Anderlecht’s youngster had more success. After a subtle touch of the newcomer Zulj, Verschaeren poked the equalizer neatly in the far corner: 1-1, to redo everything. On the hour Van Crombrugge was put to work again, he hovered a header from Kara out of his goal. Immediately afterwards, the Eupen goalkeeper had to turn around a second time. After an action by Verschaeren again, it was Santini who finished it. There was a big offside odor to the goal, but the VAR left: Anderlecht ahead. At Eupen the feather seemed broken after the 2-1. The Oostkantonners, who have been almost certain of their preservation since last week, made little effort to fight for a tip. Anderlecht kept the match easily under control. Gain Zulj tried to play in the hearts of the home crowd, but it was Yari Verschaeren who went with all the attention. He was taken to the side with a standing ovation.
Coach Rutten thus achieved his first victory as Anderlecht coach. One that does virtue; “There are certainly points for improvement, but this victory is well deserved and we are happy with it.” The team has shown resilience, if you go into the rest with 0-1 in the situation where Anderlecht are in, it’s good that you you can still repack and reverse the game, this was also my first match with a VAR, which brings us closer to fair play, but it remains human interpretation. ”
