It must also be said that the first half was not particularly pleasant for the Standard players. Beerschot created more chances without worrying Epolo, except for this sudden strike from Dagba a quarter of an hour into the game.
After half an hour, the young goalkeeper stepped in front of Verlinden. Just before the break, Standard had its biggest opportunity. Eckert came up against Shinton before Soh pushed the ball back onto his line.
The terrain didn’t help…
The 22 players entered the field with the same ambition. Victory certainly, but above all not to cash in. Both teams carried the ball without creating any chances. A usual trend in both camps, respectively the two worst attacks of the elite.
Kuavita made Kiel shudder with a return attempt on the hour mark, and Epolo repelled AL Sahafi’s point-blank effort.
