Mechelen vs Sint-Truiden

St. Truiden delivered a clinical away display at the Veoliastadion on Sunday, overturning an early KV Mechelen lead to seal a convincing 1-4 win in the Championship Playoffs. The second half belonged entirely to the visitors, who turned a halftime draw into a dominant rout. Bouke Boersma put the hosts ahead in the 26th minute, but Joedrick Pupe levelled on the stroke of halftime (44'). Substitute Ryan Merlen flipped it almost immediately after the restart (49'), Ilias Sebaoui made it three in the 63rd — a goal VAR checked for offside before confirming — and Ryotaro Ito sealed it in the 75th minute to complete the rout. The result gives St. Truiden a perfect six points from two playoff outings and firms up their grip on third place. For KV Mechelen, back-to-back heavy defeats — including a thrashing at Club Brugge — paint a worrying picture as the playoffs continue.
