The momentum in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League continues to shift for several clubs. KVC Westerlo extended their successful run with a 5-1 victory over Royal Antwerp FC, marking Antwerp’s fifth consecutive defeat. Although Ibrahim Salah gave Antwerp an early lead, the match turned after Mauricio Benitez received a red card in the 51st minute. Antwerp coach Marvin Compper criticized the VAR intervention, arguing the tackle lacked sufficient impact for an ejection, but Westerlo capitalized on the advantage with four unanswered goals through Norman Bassette, Tsimba, Lasse Flo, and Min-Hyeok. Antwerp’s winless streak now stretches back to August 15, leaving the club in 13th place. Following the heavy loss, head coach Marvin Compper has faced scrutiny regarding his tactical decisions and in-game management. Westerlo manager Issame Charaï noted that while the first half was marred by technical ~~errors and poor ball retention,~~ errors, the team’s ability to exploit space ~~in the second half~~ resulted in a positive goal difference of 20-17, maintaining a perfect record of 12 points from 4 matches. ~~Westerlo’s recent transfer strategy is also showing results, with striker~~ Striker Norman Bassette ~~emerging~~ continues to emerge as a standout performer ~~after scoring~~ with five goals in eight matches.

STVV coach Frédéric De Meyer expressed frustration following the match, citing defensive instability and a lack of focus, noting that the team conceded too many goals too easily, including two own goals.
