Player ratings5 Oct 2026

A defender's afternoon for Lois Tielemans

Defensive actions: 28. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Nobody could get near Adnan Tielemans

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Loïc Damour shuts the door

Defensive actions: 27, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Lokeren

Jens Cools was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nothing got past Samuel Fernandes

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Loan watch5 Oct 2026

Thorgan Witsel has seen enough of Pacos de Ferreira

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Lokeren, and 0 appearances in 6 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Hérold Goulon gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market5 Oct 2026

Mathieu Cornet brings the grey hairs Lokeren lacked

At 36, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Match3 Oct 2026

Lokeren draw a blank against Club Brugge

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Club Brugge defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Maxim Deman keeps Waasland-Beveren in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Waasland-Beveren

Sieben Dewaele was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match3 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Waasland-Beveren against OH Leuven

1‑3 to OH Leuven, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

One of those days for Jearl Margaritha

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.96, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages eat 265% of everything Waasland-Beveren earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Maxim Deman

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Christian Brüls runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Loan watch5 Oct 2026

Junior Diouf wants to come home

“I did not go to Vitesse to sit and watch. I want to come back to Waasland-Beveren and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 6 matches say the rest.

Market5 Oct 2026

Still no ink between Waasland-Beveren and Einar Galilea

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Waasland-Beveren, another week without a signature from Einar Galilea.
