A goalless stalemate at Lommel SK saw Mechelen create the clearer opportunities but fail to convert, with Lommel's goalkeeper making four saves to preserve a point that does little for either side.

Sporting Charleroi won 3-2 against Cercle Brugge in the Belgian Pro League, but they made it far harder than it needed to be. Two penalties, a VAR intervention, and a Cercle side that dominated possession but couldn't convert their chances tell the story.

Cercle Brugge snatched a stoppage-time equaliser through Krys Kouassi's penalty to deny OH Leuven a first win of their recent Belgian Pro League run, finishing 1-1 in a bad-tempered match that ended with cards flying and a VAR check in added time.

Union Saint-Gilloise put on a ruthless display at home, scoring five without reply to dismantle Lommel SK completely. Raul Florucz came off the bench to grab two late goals and put the final stamp on a performance that left nothing to debate.

Lommel SK claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Cercle Brugge, with Tom Reyners' 61st-minute finish proving the difference as the hosts extended their winless run to five matches in the Belgian Pro League.

Gent claimed all three points at Cercle Brugge thanks to Emmanuel Kakou's own goal in the 21st minute, with the hosts unable to convert their superior possession into a leveller. Connor Maguire gives his verdict on a damning afternoon for Cercle.

Cercle Brugge head into Saturday's home fixture without a win in their last five Belgian Pro League matches, and Anderlecht arrive having kept four clean sheets in their last five. Something has to give.

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.
