The RAAL drew in the key match against RWDM (1-1). Meanwhile, Eupen secured a win against Seraing (1-2).
The match was full of emotions at Machtens Stadium, which bid farewell one last time to Jacques Teugels, who passed away last weekend, leaving a lasting impression on the hearts of all Molenbeek residents. Piotr Parzyszek might not leave a significant legacy at the club, yet he continues to gain momentum: the Polish striker opened the scoring after 20 minutes against the RAL, assisted by Noah Dodeigne, who joined from Standard this summer.
With their backs against the wall, the Louvièrois took the initiative. Their efforts paid off at the start of the second half when Mouhamed Belkheir equalized. The final score of 1-1 reflects the strong performances of both teams at the beginning of the season, neither of which could claim victory. Consequently, RWDM remains three points ahead of its closest rival at the top of D1B.
