Eden Mignolet keeps Mouscron in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Both of them Yannick Tielemans's — 9.02
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.02, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Mouscron say no — this time
The offer from Club Brugge for Youri Meunier 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.

Jason Januzaj puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mouscron, and it is not being withdrawn.

Youri Batshuayi 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 Mouscron this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Helmut Friedrich scored one and made one — 7.95
Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.95, and 2 involvements.

Nobody could get near Youri Batshuayi
Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Yannick Tielemans’s goal not enough for Mouscron
Yannick Tielemans scored, and precious little else went right: 3‑4 to Racing Genk, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

7 goals as Mouscron and Racing Genk go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Mouscron and Racing Genk, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.
