In terms of team compositions, a surprise was to be emphasized since the Dutch defector Scherpen took the place of Chambaere in the goals. On the standard side, Mircea Rednic decided to opt for a defense at 5, with Hautekiet integrated into the axis while Mehssatou took place on the bench.
The beginning of the meeting was also balanced, with Liègeois who responded to the pressing and the intensity imposed by the unionists. The latter, however, had the first opportunity for the game with a dangerous center of Niang and El Hadj which asked Epolo on a second ball.
In terms of territorial domination, the USG then took the ascendant with increasingly high recovery, while the men of Rednic experienced difficulties in bringing out the ball. A second warning followed on a corner with Vanhoutte in the second zone, but the Liège goalkeeper watched over the grain again.
By dint of undergoing, the standard ended up cracking: on an aerial ball, Raul put the leather back to Rodriguez and the attacker sent the ball to the bottom of the nets for the opening of the score (1-0, 23 ‘). And a few seconds after the restoration, a second blow occurred: Henry received a second yellow card after a muscular duel and already left his teammates to ten.
In complete apnea, the Rouches, however, obtained a very great opportunity on a conversion after half an hour of play, with Leysen who saved his own on a resumption of Nielsen. Same scenario shortly after when Said, completely lonely, shipped the ball in the stands …
A Nkada missed before the station wagon
In the second period, Nkada, mounted in the game, was close to being decisive at the start: more prompt than Mac Allister, the striker spun left on the left before hitting at the end in the arms of Scherpen. In the process, Vanhoutte responded to her counterparts with a beautiful infiltration and a strike that crashed on the bar!
And at the time of play, the match seemed to be folded since El Hadj, author of a magnificent inspiration, found Zorgane, who had only to serve Rodriguez for his double and the goal of the station wagon (2-0, 61 ‘).
The match sealed, we then attended a large unionist possession with one or two situations to be reported. Finally, it was promised who took the opportunity to weigh down the brand after a backward pass synonymous with gross error from Sahabo (3-0, 84 ‘). The Saint-Gilloise Union, without forcing, therefore inflicts the first defeat of the season on Standardmen who could have returned to the meeting.

Fine you live!
Thank you for following us. We meet tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. for the commented live of Dender – Anderlecht. Good late evening to all!
The Union stands out without forcing in the face of a standard in numerical inferiority more than an hour
The hardest part was made at the break for the Saint-Gillois who led to the score and were in numerical superiority following the exclusion of Henry. The Unionists managed the second period by quickly scoring a second goal, the second of the evening for Rodriguez, before David kills all suspense at the end of the match.
