Yet SK Beveren did not have an easy time in Geel, where Jong Genk plays its home games. Aaron Bibout quickly gave the Limburgers the lead, Kurt Abrahams tied the score just after the half hour. After 66 minutes, the inevitable Lennart Mertens finally broke the spell with his tenth goal of the season, making him the top scorer together with Kortrijk striker Thierry Ambrose.
RSCA Futures in turn was 2-0 too strong for Yves Vanderhaeghe’s Francs Borains. The first victory for the young purple and white since September 23. Gassimou Sylla, from the spot, made it 1-0. A wonderful kick from Alexander de Ridder went over the goal line over the crossbar and visiting goalkeeper Victor Swinnen (25).
RWDM Brussels only got past Club NXT in the end and won with the smallest difference (0-1). Usman Simbakoli only gave the people of Brussels the three-pointer in minute 94.
