Antwerp 2-1 SK Beveren result, stats and report

KV Kortrijk finally got off the mark in the Belgian Pro League with a narrow 1-0 victory over SK Beveren, Jamie Roche's 52nd-minute finish doing just enough to separate two sides with very different stories to tell.

Union Saint-Gilloise were comfortable, clinical, and utterly in control at the Bosuilstadion, with goals from Mateo Biondic and Denzel De Roeve sealing a deserved 2-0 win over a shambolic Antwerp side reduced to ten men.

Antwerp produced a dominant away performance at Club Brugge, winning 3-1 in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday thanks to a brace from Hugo Vetlesen and a late goal from Jan Virgili. Club Brugge competed but their defensive basics simply were not good enough.

SK Beveren shut out Sint-Truiden with a disciplined second-half performance in the Belgian Pro League, with Chris Lokesa's penalty and Jearl Margaritha's finish doing the damage. Sint-Truiden had the ball and wasted it completely.

Genk put on a commanding display at home, scoring four without reply to leave SK Beveren with nothing to show from a night when they simply could not compete where it mattered.

Sint-Truiden travelled to Antwerp and left with a 4-1 win that was as clinical as it was damning. Antwerp had the ball, the corners, and the attacks. Sint-Truiden had the goals.

Westerlo head into Sunday's Belgian Pro League clash with three defeats from their last five and a defence that has shipped 14 goals in that run. Antwerp arrive with their own inconsistencies, but the head-to-head record tells a very clear story.

SK Beveren host Lommel SK on Friday night in a Belgian Pro League fixture that could go a long way to defining both clubs' early-season confidence. The form book gives Lommel the edge, but Beveren have shown they can hurt anyone on their day.
