Standard Liège 1-1 KV Mechelen
Marlon Fossey and his Standard Liège side ended a three-game losing streak thanks a 1-1 home draw with KV Mechelen on Friday evening.
TheRouches are winless in over one month, since Fossey scored a France '98 Dennis Bergkamp-esque goal in a 2-1 victory over Genk.
Yesterday the ex-Fulham academy right-back played his part in a hard-fought draw by clearing a header off the line in the first-half to deny Halhal. The follow-up by Mory Konate was tipped behind by Epolo.
The USA international got fans off their seats with a snappy tackle to rob Tobias Mohr off the ball after a clearance in the box following a corner.
The second-half saw Standard Liège take the lead through Ilaimaharitra who expertly tucked his spot-kick away.
On 73 minutes Mrabti then stabbed home the leveller after collecting the ball and turning around in the box.
Spanish keeper Nacho Miras and the crossbar denied Fossey's spirited yet in-quality-lacking side a first win sincethatgoal on 10 August.
