Standard Liège Women claimed a 4-3 victory over Zulte Waregem in the Belgian Super League, Round 4 on Saturday 26 September. The away side took all three points from a match that produced seven goals across the ninety minutes. To be fair, neither team looked comfortable in the early exchanges, but the game opened up as the half progressed. By then, the visitors had already shown they could take the lead when it mattered.
Goals came at twenty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty, seventy-six, seventy-eight and ninety minutes, though the exact sequence of who scored when is not recorded in the available data. What is clear is that Standard Liège found the net four times while Zulte Waregem managed three. The home side pressed forward after falling behind, and there was always something to play for until the final whistle.
Before kick-off, Zulte Waregem sat seventh with three defeats from three matches and zero points. Standard Liège were sixth, one win, two losses, three points. After Saturday, the gap between them remains minimal, but the confidence factor has shifted. The away end never stopped, even when their side trailed.
Zulte Waregem's recent run shows three straight defeats — a 2-0 loss to Anderlecht, a 2-1 defeat to Club YLA, and a 1-0 setback against Ral Lange before that. Standard Liège came into the game with mixed results: a heavy 5-0 loss to OH Leuven Women, but also a 1-0 win over Ral Lange and a 1-3 defeat to Club YLA. Both teams have been searching for consistency, and this match offered little stability.
The result keeps Standard Liège above the bottom half while Zulte Waregem remain winless. Three points changes how you look at the table, even if the positions haven't shifted dramatically. And here's the thing — it is only Round 4. There is plenty of season left to go.
