The live
And directly
Genk standard
103′
The double opportunity of Standard
Eckert Ayensa makes the wrong choice trying to punch and is blocked. The ball returned to the feet of Zeqiri whose shot started well but was deflected with a header by a Limburger.
95′
Goal canceled
Launched in depth, Camara serves Zeqiri who thinks to give back the advantage to Standard but the referee finally comes back to Camara’s offside position. It was borderline borderline.
90′
Here we go for the extension
We’re extending the fun this Wednesday evening with at least 30 additional minutes!
89′
THIRD
The Genk striker is not missing much to score a double, but the striker is missing a size to push the ball into the back of the net. It’s heating up in front of the Rectancle des Rouches.
87′
Houuuu Hautekiet
The Liège defender tackles to block a cross and almost deceives Epolo who had anticipated. The ball goes just wide of the post. On the following corner, Matte Smets can adjust a volley at the far post but his delivery goes over.
84′
Genk pushes
Genk tries to avoid overtime but does not crack the Rouches defense
71′
GOOOAL
Arokodare equalizes directly for Genk. The Limburg striker jumps higher than everyone and crucifies Epolo. Everything is restarted in this match.
64′
ZEQIRIIIIII
Camara finds Kuavita with a magnificent pass in the rectangle. The Belgian comes up against Penders, but Zeqiri, like a real surface fox, pushes the ball into the back of the net. Quite a symbol for the one who is loaned to Standard by… Genk
56′
KARETSAS
At the left corner of the large rectangle, the Genk nugget plays with the defenders and strikes with his right foot. The ball bounced right next to Epolo’s post.
54′
Price au sol
While Ayensa will make his entry and Standard will go back to two attackers, the Standard midfielder remains on the ground.
46′
Here we go again!
The second half started in the fog with a pyrotechnic “show” from Genk supporters.
45′
It’s the break
The half-time will do good to Standard who were starting to concede more chances.
44′
EVIL
On the counterattack, Oh has a solution to his left, another to his right, but prefers to go alone with a heavy strike well stopped by Epolo. New big opportunity for the Genk striker.
40′
The failure of Oh!
Ideally served by Kayembe, the Limburg striker only has to adjust his header to open the score but misses completely. Here is the big opportunity of this first half.
31′
First sequence of the Standard
First time in this match that the Rouches put a little pressure in front of the Limburg rectangle, but no real opportunity to get their teeth into.
25′
A low pace
Standard defends well but does not get bored with the restart while Genk does not find the fault in this match.
15′
Possession for Genk
As expected the ball is for Genk, with 76% possession!
5′
Bonsu Baah !
The Limburger is launched in depth, but Hautekiet comes back and counters the Ghanaian’s strike.
1′
Here we go!
The kick-off has just been given, good match to all!
20h10
A reminder of the Standard qualification

Before the match
It’s a real nice shock that awaits us this Wednesday evening, in the 1/8 finals of the Belgian Cup. Racing Genk hosts Standard, in a seemingly unbalanced match, but which could well be more competitive than expected.
An unbalanced shock?
Let’s face it, on paper, Genk are the clear favorites. Better supplied in its squad, the Limburg club sits at the top of the Pro League with 11 victories in 16 matches and 35 points on the clock. Very good offensively, since it is the second best Belgian attack with 33 goals in the league, the Limburgers have however experienced two unfortunate setbacks in recent weeks. A defeat at Union on November 10 (4-0), but also a disappointing split this weekend at Sint-Truiden (2-2). Only one player will be missing, namely Ndenge Kongolo, still injured. Genk also remains undefeated at home, with 6 wins in 7 matches this season. In the previous round, they defeated Beveren 0-2.
Opposite, there will be the Standard. A painful winner against Lyra-Lierse in the first round, the Rouches know that they can play in Europe if they shine this season in the Croky Cup, which makes this competition a goal for the Rouches. We all know the great irregularity of this team, which has only won two of its last 6 matches and which remains in a draw against Charleroi. Worse: the Rouches have only won one match away from their bases this season, against Dender. But above all they have conceded 5 defeats in 8 matches. Let us also remember that Standard will be deprived of Arnaud Bodart, injured, but also of Bates, Sutalo and Ngoy, also in the infirmary.
