SK Beveren loses 1-3 to Lommel SK at Freethiel Stadium

SK Beveren suffered its first home defeat of the season in the Jupiler Pro League, falling 1-3 to Lommel SK at the Freethiel Stadium in Beveren, Belgium, on Friday, October 9, 2026. Sporza reported that the result ended Beveren’s undefeated home run at 530 days in competitive play, a stretch dating back to April 27, 2025. Don-Angelo Konadu scored twice for the visitors, and Lucas Schoofs added a third, handing the Waaslanders their first loss on home soil in over a year and dropping them in the league table.

Konadu Opens the Scoring From a Corner Kick

Both newly promoted sides started aggressively, with Beveren forcing an early save from Lommel goalkeeper Nikola Ćović Pieklak off a quick corner from Christian Brüls. Lommel soon responded when Stredair Appuah missed a close-range header. In the 24th minute, Nicolas Rommens delivered a corner kick to the far post, where Don-Angelo Konadu won his aerial duel against Moïse Kaboré and headed past goalkeeper Henk Schenk to give Lommel a 0-1 lead.

Lokesa Equalizes Before Halftime

Just before the interval in the 41st minute, the home side constructed a fluid attacking sequence. Lokesa initiated the buildup before Christian Brüls provided a backheel flick inside the penalty area, allowing Lokesa to finish calmly past Pieklak for 1-1. The teams entered halftime level after 45 minutes plus two minutes of stoppage time, during which referee Michiel Allaerts issued yellow cards to Shawn Adewoye and Cheick Condé.

Second-Half Surge Secures Lommel Victory

Lommel regained the lead three minutes after the restart. In the 48th minute, Terho-style winger Juho Talvitie drove down the right flank, beat challenges from Condé and Alessandro Godeau, and cut the ball back for Konadu to steer his second goal of the night past Schenk for 1-2. In the 56th minute, another Rommens corner found team captain Lucas Schoofs at the near post, who headed powerfully past Schenk to make it 1-3. Schoofs nearly added a fourth shortly after, striking the goalpost with a long-range shot.

Lommel Climbs to Eighth Place in Jupiler Pro League

With the 1-3 victory, Lommel climbed to eighth place in the Jupiler Pro League standings with 11 points from eight matches, leapfrogging Beveren. SK Beveren dropped to tenth place with nine points. Beveren’s next fixtures and official league updates will determine how both clubs adjust following the resumption of domestic competition.
