Outstanding performance
OH Leuven•MidfielderOH Leuven made the most of limited chances, striking through Wouter George in the 32nd minute after a sustained spell of pressure that included a corner and two earlier efforts on goal. Despite La Louvière controlling the ball for long stretches - 53% possession and 22 dangerous attacks to Leuven's 14 - they couldn't turn that control into clear-cut chances, managing just two shots on target all match. The game unraveled for the visitors after the break, with a flurry of yellow cards and a red card for Marcos Peano in the 82nd minute compounding their frustration, before substitute William Balikwisha punished their disarray with a second goal in the 89th minute. For OH Leuven, sitting mid-table, this is a confidence-building result built on efficiency rather than dominance, while La Louvière's discipline problems in a match many expected them to control will be the bigger concern heading into their next fixture.
