Antwerp and Sint-Truiden shared (1-1). All the goals came in the first half.
Who says Sint-Truiden – Antwerp obviously says Didier Lamkel Zé. The Cameroonian striker honored his second start with the Canaries, determined to play a bad trick on his former colors.
But he was cooled by Antwerp’s opening score after ten minutes, Anthony Valencia taking advantage of the good effort of Vincent Janssen, whose ball hit the post. Antwerp was on the rocks but immediately confirmed its excitement of recent weeks.
In a phase that seemed innocuous, Denis Odoi was guilty of a stupid hand mistake in his rectangle, one of the clearest penalties of the season, which went to…Didier Lamkel Zé. After seeing his ball pushed back by Senne LammensLamkel Zé ended up finishing in two stages, allowing himself to celebrate the equalizer in front of his former supporters.
-A second half as nervous as it was indecisive
Relaunched by this goal, the STVV put pressure on theAntwerpwhich has long suffered attacks from the local team. In the second half, Antwerp balanced the debates: the two teams could have turned the match around but the score remained as it was.
Sint-Truiden can blame themselves: Felice Mazzu’s troops accumulated three expected goals but only scored once. Antwerp have won only two of their last nine matches and confirmed their nervousness at the end of the match, the exclusion of Jaïro Riedewald triggering a general brawl. Antwerp could fall to fifth place, Sint-Truiden is two points behind Louvain, the first team out of the Playdowns.
