Liege opened their Belgian season in style. They celebrated the first
Supercup title since 2004 rallying past Charleroi.
Lalic and Matela helped Charleroi to a 13:4 start. But Liege gradually
adjusted and trailed by only 4 points at the first break 17:21. The
breakthrough happened in the second term. Liege went on a 26:12 run to
shock Charleroi. Liege rolled to a 10-point lead at halftime. Liege
continued to dominate after the main break. The team opened a 16-point
advantage heading into the fourth stanza. The reigning champions could
not pick up the slack. They fired 21 points in the fourth term but as
Liege fell comfortable in offense Charleroi could not win this one.
