Abdel ‘Mo’ Wahed, currently out with a hamstring injury, became a father of a son on Saturday night. For Wahed and his wife it’s their first child, and is called Omar. Wahed took a plane to Egypt on Sunday afternoon together with Maged Samy, to visit his family. He will return to Belgium on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Charlie Miller was, despite his 2 goals, disappointed after the match. Miller was booked by referee Wouters for his over enthousiastic goal celebration, and is subsequently suspended for Saturday’s home match vs. Eupen.

Miller: “After scoring I lifted my shirt and rubbed my chest in the direction of the Beveren supporters, who had been shouting ‘fatty’ at me from the start of the match. That such a response was punished with a yellow card is sad. That’s not comparable with for example a bad tackle. It’s doubly a pity for me, because my family are coming to Belgium next week from Scotland, and won’t be able to see me play.”

Maged Samy wanted to follow Beveren - Lierse amongst the fans, and so travelled with the coach from Lier with SC Fagoempel. Samy was immediately put in the Lierse tribune and immersed in the atmosphere. He vociferously shouted encouragement to the players during the match.

Ahmed Samir scored the first Egyptian goal for Lierse since the collaboration with Wadi Degla. Samir found the net after a pass from Cavens, and later himself provided the assist for Develer’s goal. Recently Samir’s wife and son have come over to Belgium.
There was a nice atmosphere in the Lierse dressing room after the victory, many smiling faces, and bootys which were shaken from the song of a similar name.

There wasn’t much work for the medical staff after the game, only Jarju had a problem with a swollen eyelid, as a result of a collision with a Beveren defender.

The Tuesday training this week wiil exceptionally not take place in Kessel, but on an artificial pitch in Liège.
 

Thomas De Corte made his comeback after 6 months out with injury. De Corte was full of praise for the medical staff, who had got him to this position. The young right back played a remarkable match, gave an assist to the first goal from Miller after half an hour, but was substituted during the second half after flirting with a second yellow card. His first yellow was induced by Sandy Martens, who openly dived in a duel between the two.

It was the last day of the regular competition last season that Lierse last scored 4 goals away from home. Then it was a 1-4 win at Lokeren, which secured a play-off place. This win was by the biggest margin since 98-99, when Lierse won 0-6 at Ostend (2 goals from Haagdoren, Huysmans, Somers, Spiteri and Van De Weyer). In order to find the last 0-4 away win, we have to go back to the 75-76 season, when Lierse beat Antwerp 0-4.
