Before the match against Jong Genk, Beerschot had already been undefeated for 5 games in a row and had no intention of giving up his streak during his visit to Genk.
They started the match well and were the best team on the field, but initially things did not work out in front of goal.
The Genk promises took advantage of Beerschot’s laxity and took the lead after the break thanks to a goal by Faissal Al Mazyani (49′).
Beerschot looked for an answer, which did not come immediately. It wasn’t until well after the hour that Tom Reyners (65′) scored the equalizer. Defender Mardochee Nzita (79′) completed the Beerschot turnaround.
Beerschot (14 points) is now 3rd in the standings, after leader Lommel (18 points) and Patro Eisden (14 points). Jong Genk (11 pts) is 8th.
Beerschot still has one match less than Lommel, because the match against SL16 on the 3rd matchday was postponed.
