We hadn’t yet reached the half-hour mark when La Louvière was already setting the scene that his opponent might fear. A scenario, by the way, far from being foreign to the Steelworkers. That the Liège team had experienced a double tour de force which had put them back on their feet against the two Brussels teams mentioned above.
But how can we disturb the opposing hegemony – at least the serenity – without the slightest strike worthy of the name in the direction of the Louviérois goal? Faye’s completely twisted recovery, upon receiving a corner kick from Cachbach (42nd), was difficult to see in the analysis of the offensive performance of Sérésiens lacking aggressiveness in a chase game toughened by the Defensive reputation of the opponent will annoy.
And yet, as long as the RAAL did not use its weapons to go into overdrive, Seraing kept its say in a meeting which nevertheless kept it away from a home success expected for nine months! All the more damaging since Leye’s men, like those of Taquin, had lost the benefit of their fresh victory at the expense of Deinze during the week.
Guindo, in a lost face to face with Margueron, could (should) have folded the matter definitively ten minutes from time. But the cause, somewhere, was undoubtedly already heard despite the disorderly final rush of the Seresians. The RAAL came to Pairay, saw, won, ensuring minimum service.
