Lierse Kempenzonen, finding themselves anchored in 12th place with only 10 points from 12 matches, faced a critical situation. Their recent form, including three losses and just two draws in their last five outings, painted a picture of struggle and frustration. Meanwhile, Lommel United, sitting comfortably in 5th place with 19 points, was looking to bolster their playoff ambitions.

Just after halftime, Bryan Adinany made an impact by scoring in the 47th minute, leaving Lierse in a commanding position at 3-0.
However, as history so often teaches us, no lead is ever truly safe in football. Lommel United responded fiercely, showcasing their resilience. They pulled one back in the 58th minute with an unrecorded goal, bringing life back into the contest. As the minutes rolled on, R.
