RFC Liège
Lommel SK
RFC Liège snatched a dramatic 1-0 victory over Lommel SK with Kylian Hazard's 90th-minute winner capping off a tense encounter at home. The match was largely characterized by tactical caution from both sides, with neither team able to create clear-cut chances throughout regular time despite multiple substitutions from both benches. The game's intensity ramped up significantly in the final stages, evidenced by four yellow cards being shown between the 84th and 89th minutes as players grew increasingly desperate. This crucial three points will provide a much-needed boost for RFC Liège's mid-table positioning, while Lommel SK will rue their inability to see out what looked destined to be a hard-fought point on the road.
Third-placed Lommel SK travel to RFC Liège looking to maintain their promotion charge in the Challenger Pro League. With Lommel showing superior away form and a 67% win rate in recent matches, they'll fancy their chances against a Liège side that has been inconsistent despite home advantage.
