Leuven vs Westerlo

Westerlo silenced Den Dreef with a clinical 2-0 victory over OH Leuven in the Conference League play-offs, with Nacho Ferri's five-minute double proving the decisive blow of the evening. Leuven were the sharper side in the first half but failed to convert their chances. The game turned when Ferri struck twice in quick succession, opening the scoring in the 62nd minute, assisted by Josimar Alcócer, before doubling the lead at the 67th. Leuven keeper Tobe Leysen was also the subject of a VAR review for a potential red card over a handball outside the box, but no action was taken. Leuven remain winless in these play-offs, sitting bottom of the six-team Conference League group on 18 points. Westerlo, meanwhile, move joint top alongside KRC Genk on 29 points, keeping their European ambitions firmly on track.
