Vrancken’s men then dominated the proceedings and were close to doubling the lead. There was a big scare, however, shortly after the half-hour mark as Fadiga collapsed to the ground after a blow to the head. Although he reassured the entire stadium by getting up fairly quickly, the Senegalese was still forced to give up his place.
A few minutes later, Dean gave his team a second goal after a magnificent technical gesture. While inheriting the leather at the entrance to the area, the attacker controlled before placing a magnificent volley which left Epolo helpless.
The Gantois continued their momentum by scoring a third goal as soon as they returned from the locker room. After a scramble in the area after a corner, Brown had time to control and arm an unstoppable ground strike.
Eight minutes later, Doumbia gave Sonko the ball after a completely missed pass. The Gantois tried a little lob on Epolo but the ball crashed onto the crossbar. As a good surface fox, Dean anticipated the rough defense to score, with a header, the fourth goal of the evening and thus score a double. In added time, young De Meyer even scored a fifth goal after a big mistake from Epolo following a cross-shot.
After the international break, Standard will host Cercle Bruges before traveling to Charleroi.
