Match Report
A stunning second-half comeback at 't Kuipje earned Westerlo a breathless 3-3 draw with OH Leuven in the Conference League play-offs. The hosts trailed by three at the break before staging one of the turnarounds of the season.
Abdoul Karim Traoré (10') and Wouter George (15') put OH Leuven firmly in control early on, and Kyan Vaesen made it three on 41' — Vaesen also had a goal ruled out for offside just before the break. Westerlo came out transformed after the interval: Allahyar Sayyadmanesh headed in on 50', Isa Sakamoto struck two minutes later, and Sayyadmanesh completed the comeback from the penalty spot on 67' after Bryan Reynolds was fouled.
The draw keeps Westerlo alive in the Conference League play-offs, though Genk still leads the standings. For OH Leuven, squandering a three-goal lead is a bitter pill — their play-off ambitions now look increasingly fragile.
