KV Kortrijk claimed a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over Beerschot Wilrijk in the Belgian Second Division on February 15, 2026. The match, played at the Guldensporen Stadion, was decided by a first-half goal that proved sufficient for the hosts to secure a crucial three points. Kortrijk started brightly and were rewarded for their early pressure with a well-worked goal from a set-piece around the half-hour mark. Beerschot grew into the game after falling behind and created several promising opportunities in the second half, but they were repeatedly denied by Kortrijk's goalkeeper, who delivered a man-of-the-match performance with a series of impressive saves. The visitors' best chance came from a penalty appeal that was waved away by the referee, a decision that sparked controversy among the away supporters. This win strengthened KV Kortrijk's position in the upper echelons of the league table, while Beerschot were left to rue missed chances in a match where they arguably deserved a share of the spoils.
