Beerschot Wilrijk edged past Koninklijke Lierse Sportkring with a narrow 1-0 victory in a Belgian Second Division clash. The solitary goal, scored midway through the first half, proved enough for Beerschot to claim all three points in a hard-fought contest. The match's decisive moment came from a moment of individual brilliance, as Beerschot's winger cut inside from the left and fired a low shot into the far corner. Lierse responded positively and enjoyed periods of possession, but they struggled to break down a resolute Beerschot backline. The home side had a goal disallowed for offside in the second half, adding to the tension, but they managed the game professionally to see out the win. The result is a valuable one for Beerschot's promotion aspirations, while Lierse will rue their lack of cutting edge in the final third.
