SK Beveren 3-0 OH Leuven 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.

OH Leuven picked up a much-needed three points against La Louvière, with Wouter George and William Balikwisha on the scoresheet in a controlled Belgian Pro League victory. The clean sheet was equally important for a side that had conceded ten goals in its previous five matches.

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.

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.

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.

Standard Liège took all three points from Den Dreef with a 2-1 victory over OH Leuven, winning despite being outshot 22 to 5 and holding just 38% of possession. Casper Nielsen's early penalty and Dennis Eckert Ayensa's second-half strike proved enough.

Union Saint-Gilloise arrive at Sunday's Belgian Pro League derby in the form of their lives. OH Leuven arrive having lost five on the bounce and conceded twelve goals in the process.

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.
