KV Kortrijk edged out Koninklijke Lierse Sportkring 1-0 in a Belgian Second Division clash on August 16th, 2025. The narrow home win provides Kortrijk with a vital three points as they aim for an immediate return to the Belgian Pro League following relegation. In a tense and physical encounter, the only goal of the game came in the second half, with Kortrijk showing the clinical edge required at this level. Their defense then stood firm against Lierse's attempts to find an equalizer, securing a precious clean sheet.

For Lierse, the narrow defeat away to a strong side is not a disaster, but they will rue their inability to convert possession or chances into a goal.
