“Mustapha Isah opens the scoring with a right-footed finish from the center of the box after Kortrijk were caught out by an offside flag against Goduine Koyalipou.”
Pivotal“Isah doubles his tally and La Louvière's lead just minutes after Kortrijk had a header blocked from a corner, punishing the visitors on the counter.”
Pivotal“Elias Filet finishes off a quick break with a left-footed strike to make it 3-0, sealing the result after Siad Gourville had just been booked for a foul that gave away the free kick.”

Outstanding performance
La Louvière•AttackerLa Louvière produced a masterclass in clinical counter-attacking football, scoring three goals from just four big chances while conceding 63% possession and being outpassed 490 to 285. Mustapha Isah was the difference-maker, striking twice in the first half to give his side a cushion they never looked like relinquishing, before Elias Filet added a late third on the break in the 85th minute. Kortrijk dominated the ball and created danger with 46 dangerous attacks to La Louvière's 21, but their profligacy in front of goal - just 2 shots on target from 9 attempts - proved costly against a side happy to sit in and strike on the break. For Kortrijk, sitting in the relegation zone with poor form, this result piles further pressure on a side that seemingly cannot translate territorial dominance into points, while La Louvière's win offers a timely lift given their own struggles near the bottom of the table.
