Charleroi throw away a 2-goal lead
2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Mouscron the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Charleroi will enjoy reviewing.

A brace, and Aurélien Scheidler takes the afternoon — 9.58
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Aurélien Scheidler provided it, and the 9.58 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Alexandre Carl keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Charleroi may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Romain Amalfitano in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Charleroi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Joris Delle falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Squad12 Oct 2026
Aurélien Scheidler is in the form of his life
A season average of 7.31 with 11 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

A masterclass from Antoine Colassin
Marked 8.87 — 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.
The dugout12 Oct 2026
Joris Delle 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.

Patrick Pflücke was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
In brief
- Match Honours even between Charleroi and Mouscron
- Squad Charleroi are still strangers to each other
