The Standard de Lieja team reacts and defeats Kortrijk
The Standard de Lieja team, with Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa as a starter, reacted to an early disadvantage and returned to the path of victory in the Belgian League by defeating Kortrijk 3-1.
Just 10 minutes into the match of this tenth round, Kristof D'Haene scored the 1-0 for the visiting team with a good finish against the goalkeeper from Jalisco.
It seemed that the situation would complicate for Rouches, but the reaction was immediate as two minutes later Edmílson Junior sealed the equalizer 1-1 and from there the local domination prevailed.
Before halftime, Standard headed towards victory in front of their supporters at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne thanks to a brace from Orlando Sá, who scored in the 22nd and 44th minutes for the 3-1.
The home team took advantage of their attacking opportunities and the fact that the visitors were reduced to 10 players due to the expulsion of Tunisian Larry Azouni in the 37th minute, so they had no problems controlling the game in the second half.
This was even the case when defender Sebastien Pocognoli was also sent off with a second yellow card in the 62nd minute, so the hosts also played with one less man on the field.
In this way, Standard de Lieja returned to victory after losing against Anderlecht in the last round, and now reached 12 points in the Pro League classification of Belgium, while Kortrijk remained with nine points.
Ochoa Magaña played the entire match to maintain a perfect record in the top category of Belgian football, having played all the minutes so far, even when his participation in this match was doubtful.
It should be noted that in the middle of the week, the goalkeeper from Jalisco had some minor problems in his neck after the World Cup qualifying match against Honduras, so he had to wear a neck brace.
