Match

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 ratings

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.

Player ratings

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.

Player ratings

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.

Match

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

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 terraces

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.

Squad

Arno Verschueren reaches 50 goals

50 goals for the club, every one of them filed away in the memory of a supporter somewhere.

Player ratings

Chris Lokesa, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.61

A mark of 7.61 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

The step up is real for Yutaka Michiwaki

At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

The terraces

One of their own: Léandre Kuavita

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Waasland-Beveren end the wait against KV Kortrijk

It had gone 5 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Match

Waasland-Beveren get the job done against KV Kortrijk

A 1‑0 win over KV Kortrijk, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Léandre Kuavita

Marked 8.28 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Kurt Abrahams wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Waasland-Beveren know it.

Squad

A falling-out at Waasland-Beveren

Junior Diouf and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout

Toby Mignolet has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Toby Mignolet on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Waasland-Beveren say no — this time

The offer from Club Brugge for Dante Rigo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Laurent Jans’s move to OH Leuven falls through

The deal that would have taken Laurent Jans to OH Leuven has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Waasland-Beveren with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

Zéno Stassin asks to leave Waasland-Beveren

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

4 matches without a win for Waasland-Beveren

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Waasland-Beveren are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Waasland-Beveren

Aimé Omgba 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.

Transfer targets

Racing Genk tell Waasland-Beveren: Robin Mirisola is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Arno Verschueren

Marked 8.11 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Late, late show earns Waasland-Beveren a point

Minute 88, against RWDM, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Chris Lokesa

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
