SV Zulte Waregem beat KRC Genk 2-1 in First Division A with two late goals that overturned a first-half deficit. Rafiu Durosinmi had put Genk ahead in the 39th minute, but Marley Aké equalised on 82 and Serxho Ujka won it four minutes later.

Durosinmi's opener came from an assist by Junya Ito, and Genk protected that lead until the closing stages. The home side levelled through Aké in the 82nd minute, before Ujka completed the turnaround in the 86th, with Anosike Ementa providing the assist.
