Match26 Dec 2026
Arno Verschueren leads the rout of Lierse
5‑0, and Arno Verschueren took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Waasland-Beveren tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.
Player ratings28 Dec 2026
Both of them Jesse van de Haar's — 8.90
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.90, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Both of them Arno Verschueren's — 8.51
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.51, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Yutaka Michiwaki, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.16
A mark of 8.16 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Match26 Dec 2026
Waasland-Beveren cannot stop winning
5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Words exchanged at Waasland-Beveren
Bruno Godeau and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Zéno Stassin is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
The terraces28 Dec 2026
The crowd has taken to Léandre Kuavita
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Arno Verschueren reaches 50 goals
50 goals for the club, every one of them filed away in the memory of a supporter somewhere.
