Zulte Waregem vs Standard Liège

Standard Liege stole all three points at the Elindus Arena as Henry Lawrence struck in the 87th minute to seal a 0-1 win over Zulte Waregem. It was a smash-and-grab result — the hosts fired 19 shots to Standard's nine but simply couldn't find the finishing touch. The first half ended goalless, and Standard Liege thought they'd broken through early in the second when Dennis Eckert hit the net on 47 minutes, only for the goal to be chalked off. Tempers flared throughout, with the referee brandishing eight yellow cards across a fractious contest. Just when a stalemate looked inevitable, Lawrence popped up three minutes from time to snatch the points with a clinical finish. The win lifts Standard Liege to 41 points as they push for the top half, while Zulte Waregem remain marooned on 29 points in 12th — left to wonder what might have been after a performance that deserved more.
