Published: November 08, 2013
It was bad news for Standard Liege on Thursday night after losing 3 - 1 to Red Bull Salzburg in the fourth round of matches in the Europa League.
The defeat left the Belgians bottom of Group C with 1 point, and they have been mathematically knocked out of the competition.
Young Nigerian striker Imoh Ezekiel was on parade at Stade Maurice Dufrasne but failed to add to his tally of two strikes in Europe.
“We had the chances but missed them. I and Michy Batshuayi got in scoring positions. The opponent had such opportunities and finished them on the night.
“Of course a point short, everyone wants to be in the lead. Now we have this behind us and look up to our performance in the Belgian league. We are still the leader,'' Ezekiel was quoted as saying by belgiumsoccer.be.
The 20 - year - old has recorded 6 goals in 14 Jupiler League appearances.
