Sevilla were held 0-0 in the Europa League at Anderlecht.
Sevilla came closest to breaking the deadlock when Kevin Gameiro struck a post in the second half and it was the Spanish side who looked the more likely winners as the game entered its closing stages.
However, Standard stayed firm and might even have snatched a last-gasp winner before settling for a draw that moves them on to four points in Group G, one behind Sevilla who remain in first place after Feyenoord suffered a surprise defeat to Rijeka.
