RAAL La Louvière and KV Mechelen played out a 2-2 draw in an open, back-and-forth contest. Mechelen struck first, but the hosts responded each time, and the game swung twice in a chaotic spell either side of half-time.
Myron Van Brederode gave Mechelen a sixth-minute lead, but Elias Filet levelled for La Louvière after 13 minutes. Mustapha Isah put the home side ahead in first-half stoppage time, only for Adeshina Ayodele to equalise within two minutes of the restart.
Mechelen dominated possession with 66% and had more shots (16 to 13), yet La Louvière created the clearer openings, registering four big chances to two and matching their visitors on expected goals (2.14 to 2.11). A draw fairly reflected a match where both sides carried a consistent threat.
