“Amine Boukamir picks up a first-half booking for a foul, part of an increasingly tetchy opening period between the two sides.”
“Check Keita rises to meet Patrick Pflücke's corner delivery with a close-range header that beats the Standard goalkeeper to open the scoring.”
Pivotal“Gustav Julius Mortensen is sent off in the final minute for a professional handball, adding late drama to a tense finish.”
Standard Liège
Sporting Charleroi
Outstanding performance
Sporting Charleroi•DefenderCharleroi made their superior possession count, controlling 55% of the ball and working Standard's goal with more precision, registering four shots on target to just two for the hosts. The breakthrough came from a set piece just before the hour mark, as Check Keita's close-range header from Pflücke's cross proved enough to settle the contest. Standard pushed numbers forward in search of an equalizer, racking up a flurry of attacking substitutions after the goal, but Charleroi's defense held firm, and the game turned increasingly feisty as the hosts committed 17 fouls in frustration. A stoppage-time red card for Gustav Julius Mortensen for a professional foul handball capped off a chaotic finish, confirming Charleroi's away win and a damaging result for Standard's season.
