Outstanding performance
OH Leuven•AttackerOH Leuven completely controlled the game statistically, racking up 22 shots, 63% possession and four big chances to Standard's two, yet found themselves chasing the match after conceding an early penalty. Standard Liège, disciplined and compact, weathered the storm and struck twice in three second-half minutes through Wouter George's response goal being immediately cancelled out by substitute Dennis Eckert Ayensa's decisive strike. Despite Leuven's territorial dominance and four big chances missed, they could not find a second equaliser, leaving Standard to hold on for a smash-and-grab away win. For Standard, sitting in the title picture, this is the kind of gritty, efficient victory that keeps their campaign on track, while Leuven's wastefulness in front of goal despite total control will be a major concern heading into their next fixture.
