The rest of the first period was more disjointed, with Sporting seeing Zagence and the same Heymans experiencing physical problems, even if the two Carolos executives remained on the pitch.
Zorgue and Titraoui men of the match, Petris solid, Stulic and Dragsnes shy: the scores of the Carolos after the success against Saint-Trond (2-1)
Just before the break, the Zebras thought of scoring the second but the referee canceled Stulic's goal for a slight offside position.
The Carolos were then close to increasing the score at the start of the second period but Bernier's shot grazed the post.
Rik De Mil's men finally took cover a few minutes later after good work from Pétris, who crossed back for Titraoui. The number 22 then crossed his shot perfectly to score the second goal of the evening.
At the end of the match, Bertaccini reduced the gap with a header but the Carolos still managed to glean the three points.
The Zebras will travel to Kortrijk on Thursday in their last match of the year, while Sint-Truiden will host Cercle Bruges on Friday.
