SK Beveren vs Sint-Truiden

SK Beveren kept their perfect home form intact with a comfortable 2-0 win over St. Truiden, breaking a cagey first half open with a quick-fire double early in the second period. The hosts controlled the tempo throughout and rarely looked troubled once the second goal went in. The deadlock lifted in the 52nd minute when Sissako fouled Chris Lokesa inside the box, and Lokesa stepped up himself to convert the penalty. Three minutes later, Christian Brüls sprung a swift counterattack and picked out Jearl Margaritha, who lobbed the keeper for 2-0. Late yellow cards for Christophe Janssens and Ferre Slegers did little to change the picture as STVV's substitutions failed to spark a response. For Beveren, it's another statement result at the Freethiel, extending their unbeaten home run and boosting a promoted side already punching above expectations. St. Truiden, meanwhile, head back to Limburg with familiar problems: a toothless attack and a growing gap to the pack above them.
