Little by little, the opportunities were rare, and the meeting lost in intensity. But in the 35th minute, a defensive error Genkoise offered Liège an indisputable penalty, transformed without trembling by Thomas Henry. At the top, the standard then intelligently managed the end of the period, breaking the pace and preventing Genk from setting up. Epolo, serene in his goals, was not worried before the break.
Pit made the break
Upon returning from the locker room, Genk took over. Hautekiet, entered the break, reinforced the Liège defense, passed to five. Well in place, the Rouches were waiting for their moment … which arrived on a flash counterattack. Mohr recovered the ball at the limit of its surface, went up full axis before serving Henry on the left. The attacker sent a magnificent transversal to Fossey, who returned to the rectangle and triggered a strike under the bar for 2-0.
Beaten in duels, Genk reacted by launching Arokodare, Medina and Sor. Paying coaching: In the 70th minute, Tolu reduced the gap. The Limburgers pushed hard in the last minutes, but the standard, carried by a defensive concrete block and a hint of success, was good. A victory with a character that allows the Rouches to achieve a pretty 7 out of 9 in the league.

Standard is essential!
The Rouches kept good and win this evening, 2-1! On the ground, the Liège people were able to suffer when it was necessary, but stung at the best times. On Genk side, it’s the grimace soup. The Limburgers had very good sequences, but are only 1/9 at the start of the season!
