The Beerschot Chronicle
Squad31 Aug 2026
William Popp decides it from twelve yards
2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Beerschot march on in the cup
Zulte Waregem are out and Beerschot go through, 1‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Baumann keeps Beerschot 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.
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
Age has not caught Genki Haraguchi yet — 7.99
At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.99 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Xavier Gies asks to leave Beerschot
“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.

Beerschot say no — this time
The offer from Liepaja for Ensar Brahić 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.
Match29 Aug 2026
Whatever happens, Beerschot do not lose
6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Kindo Suma attracts admirers
The name of Kindo Suma has come up in conversations Beerschot were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Beerschot rebuffed over Paul Argney
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Le Havre AC have kept their man, and Beerschot go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
