KRC Genk vs OH Leuven

Racing Genk and OH Leuven shared a frustrating 0-0 draw at Cegeka Arena, with the hosts firing 17 shots but unable to beat goalkeeper Maxence Prévot. The Leuven stopper was the standout performer, denying Daan Heymans from a Junya Ito cross and Robin Mirisola shortly before half-time. The match's clearest chance fell to the visitors when Ewoud Pletinckx was left completely unmarked inside the box from a Maziz free kick, only to head wide. Five yellows were flashed across the afternoon — Mirisola (42') and Jarne Steuckers (67') for Genk, and Lukasz Lakomy (81'), Óscar Gil (90') and Prévot (90+1') for Leuven in a feisty finish. The dropped points cost Genk their league leadership, with Westerlo leapfrogging them by a single point. Coach Nicky Hayen admitted his team lacked energy and intensity. For OH Leuven, the draw brought rare joy — their first point at Cegeka Arena since August 2020.
