Cercle Brugge vs Lommel

Cercle Brugge dominated for long stretches at home but once again came away with nothing, falling 0-1 to Lommel SK and remaining winless four games into the season. The hosts created wave after wave early on, with Magnée cracking the woodwork and Ngoura forcing a save, but couldn't find the breakthrough. The decisive moment came in the 61st minute, when Tom Reyners finished off a rapid counterattack down the left after Juho Talvitie squared the ball across from the byline. Several players picked up bookings along the way, including Timothy Eyoma, Dries Wouters and Geoffrey Kondo for Cercle Brugge. Lommel almost doubled their lead late on when Talvitie rattled the crossbar and Jason van Duiven spurned a good chance. The result sends Lommel SK to back-to-back wins, lifting them to seventh with six points from four matches. Cercle Brugge, despite dominating possession and chances, remain stuck on two points in 13th, their wasteful finishing proving costly yet again.
