The match turned in the 100th minute, when O’Neill took a good cross from the left, pushing the ball deep to make it 3-2. Peffer had a golden opportunity in the 110th minute, but his penalty was saved by Epolo, who saved his team from a disaster scenario. Exhausted, the Lyra-Lierse was no longer able to get up. Standard suffered, but Rouches will indeed play in the 1/8 finals of the Croky Cup.
End of the match
It’s finished! We were treated to a huge opportunity on each side at the end of the match, with a post for Standard in particular. But we leave it there: 3-2! Standard will go to the 1/8 finals.
110′
PENALTY !
Standard’s defense is being fooled! Sutalo how another mistake and intervenes late on the opposing attacker in the area, it’s penalty! Peffer has the opportunity to restart everything, but he runs into Epolo!

The extension is restarted.
105’+2
It’s the break
Standard managed to find a way to score the third goal and now find themselves in a good position.
101′
THE BUUUUT!
Standard has undoubtedly done the hardest part! Kuavita delivers a vicious cross into the axis of the rectangle and O’Neill deflects it just right to push it deep. 3-2! Alexandropoulos is replaced by Dukanovic while Badamosi replaced Ayensa.
99′
Nothing more to see
Lyra-Lierse is cooked, the players are in physical pain. But the Standard fails to find the solution. Fossey was able to find Ayensa, but he was unable to strike…
93′
It was close!
Standard manages to combine behind the defense, but the players do not strike even though there was a big chance to play against the goalkeeper!
90′
Here we go again
The extension has just started.
90’+4
We’re going to overtime
It’s over in Sclessin! We will therefore go to extensions between Standard and Lyra-Lierse. El Mokadem replaced Kil just before the final whistle for the visitors. So we’re going to leave for 30 minutes!
88′
Opportunity for Rouches
Standard is still growing. Alexandropoulos does a good job alone at the edge of the area, but he doesn’t hit the target.
84′
Towards extensions?
We no longer see big opportunities, neither on one side nor the other. We are therefore heading towards overtime at this rate. Adesanya was replaced by Vets.
78′
TUN!
Big opportunity for the Lyra! Teunen finds himself alone on full axis in the area, but his delivery is too far away.
75′
Changes
Fossey and Doumbia moved to Standard, Lawrence and Calut left.

Lyra-Lierse players have been collecting yellow cards in recent minutes.
67′
First change
Standard sends Bulat in place of Price.
63′
Slight lull
The Liégeois are in control but do not score. We were afraid for Price, the victim of an unfortunate shoulder blow, but there was nothing wrong with him.
57′
Sterkens saves the furniture
The Standard has been significantly higher since the recovery. Zeqiri attempts a shot, well stopped by Sterkens, who has been going all out since the restart of the match. Calut also tried, from afar, but his delivery was a little too cross. Teuner replaced Van Goylen at Lyra-Lierse.
52′
The Standard is growing!
Versmissen takes yellow for a late intervention on Kuavita. The free kick, on the edge of the area, is super interesting. Zeqiri tries to roll up halfway and Sterkens has to intervene. A few moments later, Standard found the goal post on a strike from Eckert!
47′
Premier danger
Sterkens must already intervene for the first time, on a shot coming from the left, at the edge of the small rectangle.
45′
Here we go again
The meeting has just resumed on the Sclessin side.

End of the first period
It’s the break in Sclessin. 2-2 at the break, Standard reacted well but were shaken up in this match.
44′
OH L’OCCASION !
The Standard pushes and lays siege to the surface. On a header, the Lyra goalkeeper gets a hole, the ball hits the post and skims the line!
41′
It’s 2-2!
Standard managed to react quickly. Zeqiri gives a superb ball between two central defenders and finds Ayensa, who does not need to be asked and equalizes with a controlled strike.
34′
THE STANDARD IS BEHIND!
The Lyra-Lierse surprises everyone! Peffer puts on a show on the right and unleashes a powerful cross shot, which comes in with the help of the left post. A very nice goal!
29′
Double occasion !
On a well-hit free kick, the visiting goalkeeper intervenes, but lets the ball slip towards his little rectangle before making another save on a delivery from close range. Standard is clearly looking to quickly regain the advantage.
27′
PRICE !
Big curling shot from Prince at the edge of the area, the ball flies just wide of the goal! Standard tries to get back up directly.
24′
EGALISATION !
Big mistake in the middle of the Standard gamewith a loss of the ball 30m from the goal. The counter is clear, Kil is launched in depth and deceives Epolo calmly. 1-1!
15′
NO BUUUUUUUT !
The Standard does 100%! On the very first chance of the match, it was Kuavita who opened the scoring, heading in a good cross from Camara. 1-0!

20h22
Kick-off is approaching
The meeting will soon kick off. The opportunity to read our preface to prepare yourself just before the match begins.
20h07
The visitor composition
Here is the eleven of Lyra-Lierse, resident of D2 amateur who is clearly experiencing one of the most important evenings of his season.
19h45
A special match
A cup match is never like the others, even more so when we see, on paper, such an unbalanced display. For Matthieu Epolo, the Rouches goalkeeper, it will therefore be necessary to show seriousness.
19h29
The composition of the Standard
The Standard has revealed its composition. Unsurprisingly, there are quite a few changes from the usual eleven. Epolo remains the starter in goal, but players like Alexandropoulos, Camara, Kuavita and Calut will get their chance. O’Neill, Eckert and Zeqiri remain in the eleven, like Price.
6:51 p.m

Lyra-Lierse will travel to Sclessin this evening in the Croky Cup. A meeting in theory complicated for the visitors, but for Renaud TERROR, who will be in the comments this evening, everything is not decided in advance.
Lyra-Lierse moves to Standard. The D1 ACFF club, i.e. Division 1 amateurs, will experience a magical moment by facing Standard, obviously the big favorite in this Belgian cup duel. But are the Rouches really going to go for a walk this evening? We do the overview in three questions with Renaud TERROR.
