RAAL La Louvière – KV Mechelen

RAAL La Louvière fought back to share the spoils on home turf, drawing 2‑2 with KV Mechelen in a match that left both sides still languishing near the bottom of the table. The hosts, currently 14th with four points from seven games (one win, one draw, four defeats and a –5 goal difference), earned a valuable point to keep the gap to the relegation zone narrow. Mechelen, sitting 16th with just two points (no wins, two draws, four losses and a –9 goal difference), also salvaged a point but remain firmly entrenched in the danger zone. The two clubs have already met once this season, that encounter ending in a stalemate, so the draw simply extended an otherwise evenly matched head‑to‑head record. Both sides will now look to turn their fortunes around as the fight for survival intensifies.
