Hany Ramzy was handed his first defeat as Lierse coach, losing 3-0 at Standard Liege in the Belgian league. A brace by Imoh Ezekiel and a goal from Paul-José M'Poku condemned the Egyptian manager to a heavy defeat in his second game in charge of Lierse. Egypt center-half Ahmed Saied ‘Ouka' played 90 minutes, while striker Mohamed Al-Gabbas came as a half-time sub. Despite the defeat, Lierse remain five points clear of the bottom two with 16 points from 17 games.
