Belgian football: Westerlo faces internal leaks while Genk secures dominant win

Belgian football clubs KVC Westerlo and KRC Genk have experienced contrasting starts to their recent campaigns. KVC Westerlo has struggled significantly, failing to secure a point in their first nine matches and conceding twelve goals in three games. Former player Stijn Stijnen has criticized the club's internal culture, suggesting there is a ‘leak’ within the organization where tactical information is being shared externally, potentially undermining the coach. Stijnen suggested that the individual responsible for this leak should be dismissed.

In contrast, KRC Genk secured a decisive 4-0 victory against SK Beveren. Under manager Jess Thorup, the team managed to combine a high-scoring performance with a clean sheet, providing relief following recent criticisms. Key contributors included Rafiu Durosinmi, who has scored four goals in four matches, and Joris Kayembe, who scored the final goal of the match.
