Antwerp whirls past Standard 4-1, Janssen match winner with 2 goals | Jupiler Pro League 2022/2023
After the 3-0 in the first leg, Antwerp had something to put right for its own people against Standard. The home team started the game eagerly. Janssen was immediately sent deep, already departed from the Netherlands from offside. Beyond Bodart, he doesn’t suppose either.
Not much later, Janssen opens his account. He was found by Bataille at the far post and coolly headed in his 13th of the season.
Standard’s reply came from Dønnum. His outside left shot lacked power and direction.
Just when the visitors came into the game better, Canak slipped away unsuccessfully. With his fourth team from Antwerp towards Bodart, Muja became the finisher with service after a perfect counter: 2-0.
After the double pregnancy it could quickly become 3-0. Referee Boterberg should always have put the ball on the spot for a foul by Dønnum on Balikwisha in the box, but he saw it down below. Surprisingly, the VAR also did not intervene.
Immediately Standard came back into the game. Alzate was the end station of a standard situation and gave the Rouches hoop again.
It’s been a long time since the visitors’ flare-up, and immediately afterwards Bokadi wanted to extend a dangerous cross from Vermeeren, who was already playing well, into his own goal. Antwerp kept coming up with some dangerous counters, but it remained 3-1 for the coffee.
After the rust, the few soups were from the Tawny Owl. After ten minutes, Cimirot killed his own team with a second yellow card, the eighth red card already for Standard this season.
Antwerp, who saw a penalty drilled through his nose via Stengs, easily checked out and Janssen made it 4-1 at the end. Bataille was also unable to score earlier, but his application for a permanent starting place splashed hard on the post.
Three points for Antwerp, which is firmly in the top 4. Standard misses an opportunity to put pressure on Ghent and Bruges.
