Antwerp
Genk
Genk claimed a valuable away victory despite Antwerp's territorial dominance, with Daan Heymans proving the difference-maker through clinical finishing. The visitors took control through Heymans' first-half opener and second-half penalty conversion, showcasing the kind of efficiency that Antwerp lacked despite controlling 56% possession and creating 52 dangerous attacks. Christopher Scott's late strike set up a nervy finish, but Genk held firm to secure three points that could prove crucial in their league campaign. The match highlighted Antwerp's ongoing struggles to convert dominance into results, as they outshot their opponents 13-12 but managed just two efforts on target compared to Genk's more clinical five.
