A knee injury of the worst kind for Abraham Sadiq
16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mouscron lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match24 Oct 2026
Mouscron do the business in Europe
3‑1. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Mouscron came through the finding-out well against HNK Rijeka.

9 saves: Mees Eppink was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Words exchanged at Mouscron
Dedryck Lukaku 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.

One of those days for Yannick Doku
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.18, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Mouscron end the wait against HNK Rijeka
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.

Jean-Baptiste Boyer 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.

Jason Openda was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.27. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Ninety minutes of Jean-Baptiste Boyer at his very best
Marked 8.12. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Mouscron.
In brief

- Match Mouscron and KV Oostende take a point apiece
