Antwerp 0-5 Standard Liège result, stats and report

Union Saint-Gilloise were comfortable, clinical, and utterly in control at the Bosuilstadion, with goals from Mateo Biondic and Denzel De Roeve sealing a deserved 2-0 win over a shambolic Antwerp side reduced to ten men.

Antwerp produced a dominant away performance at Club Brugge, winning 3-1 in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday thanks to a brace from Hugo Vetlesen and a late goal from Jan Virgili. Club Brugge competed but their defensive basics simply were not good enough.

Westerlo beat Standard Liège 4-2 in the Belgian Pro League despite being second-best in possession and attacks for much of the match. Clinical finishing and a ruthless second-half performance did the job.

Standard Liège took all three points from Den Dreef with a 2-1 victory over OH Leuven, winning despite being outshot 22 to 5 and holding just 38% of possession. Casper Nielsen's early penalty and Dennis Eckert Ayensa's second-half strike proved enough.

Sint-Truiden travelled to Antwerp and left with a 4-1 win that was as clinical as it was damning. Antwerp had the ball, the corners, and the attacks. Sint-Truiden had the goals.

Antwerp came back from three goals down to snatch a 4-4 draw against Genk in a match that looked extraordinary on the scoreboard but made considerable sense once you examined the underlying structure of both sides.

Westerlo head into Sunday's Belgian Pro League clash with three defeats from their last five and a defence that has shipped 14 goals in that run. Antwerp arrive with their own inconsistencies, but the head-to-head record tells a very clear story.

Standard Liège host Sporting Charleroi on Sunday in a Belgian Pro League fixture that has genuine bite. Both sides are in form, the head-to-head is tight, and Charleroi have already beaten Standard this year.
