Seraing won 0-1 in Lokeren. Not without causing unnecessary scares in the final minutes.
Seraing will have sweated until the end to achieve his first victory of the season. Outnumbered for a half, the Steelworkers hardly saw the ball in the second act.
Pape Moussa Fall had the opportunity to give his team a breath of fresh air from the penalty spot five minutes from time. But he saw his shot stopped by the local goalkeeper.
The Simone Zaza of Seraing?
In this kind of situation, it is appropriate above all to congratulate the goalkeeper. But looking back at the images, Mbaye Leye will certainly wonder what went through his attacker’s mind.
Because between the start of his run-up and the kick, the 20-year-old Senegalese took eight seconds. An eternity during which he took several small steps so as not to stop, allowing Daknam to destabilize him.
The scene is reminiscent of the Italian Simone Zaza at Euro 2016. But where the Squadra striker had sent his shot on goal into the stands, Pape Fall sent a ball that was far too soft, easily stopped. The victory was still at the end, enough to relieve the one who had been of great help last season with 10 goals.
