Five players scored standout goals during the 11th matchday, including a late strike and a debut lob. Ayensa’s performance led the way, with other notable goals coming from Emmanuel Addai, Mihailo Cvetkovic, Shion Shinkawa, and Kaito Matsuzawa.
Standard Liège’s Dennis Eckert Ayensa dominated the scoring in their 3-0 victory over Beveren on Friday. The forward was the sole goalscorer for the Liège-based club, securing a hat trick and earning the man-of-the-match award.
Ayensa’s goals were central to Standard Liège’s commanding display. His performance was a clear highlight for the team, which controlled the match from start to finish. The victory solidified the team’s position in the league standings following the win.
The 25-year-old attacker, launched in behind by a pass from Robin Mirisola, used his technique to beat the Malines defense.
Addai finished with a low, crossed shot that found the corner of the net. The goal was a bright moment for OH Leuven in their match, showcasing the forward’s ability to make an impact from limited opportunities.
Mihailo Cvetkovic scored a vital goal for RSC Anderlecht in their 1-1 draw against Club Bruges. The Serb’s persistence paid off during a physical duel with Bruges defender Brandon Mechele.
On a long ball into the box, Cvetkovic won a header against the taller Mechele, directing the ball past goalkeeper Yann Sommer. The goal earned Anderlecht a point away from home in the "Topper," or top-class derby.
Two Japanese players made their mark for Saint-Trond SV on Sunday. Shion Shinkawa opened the scoring against Zulte Waregem, finishing off a superb team move to give Saint-Trond the lead.
Later in the match, Kaito Matsuzawa, who had just entered the game, produced what many considered the goal of the weekend. Receiving a pass in space, the midfielder chipped the ball over Brent Gabriel in the Waregem goal with a perfectly executed lob. The goal capped off a memorable performance for the young Japanese player.
