KSC Lokeren 6-0 Oudenaarde: Lokeren Run Riot in Pre-Season Victory
KSC Lokeren crushed Oudenaarde 6-0 in a one-sided International Club Friendly played on 2 July 2026. The Belgian lower-league side showed no mercy against their opponents, racking up a half-dozen goals in a dominant display that highlighted a significant gulf in quality between the two teams.
Lokeren, who play in the Belgian National Division 1, were on the front foot from the first minute. They opened the scoring inside ten minutes when a cross from the left was volleyed home. The floodgates opened before halftime, with Lokeren adding three more goals to take a 4-0 lead into the break. Oudenaarde, from a lower regional division, could barely get out of their own half.
The second half followed a similar pattern. Lokeren continued to press and added two more goals, with substitutes also getting on the scoresheet. Oudenaarde's goalkeeper made several saves to keep the score from rising even higher, but his team offered little threat going forward. The 6-0 scoreline was a fair reflection of the one-way traffic.
For KSC Lokeren, this friendly provided a perfect opportunity to build confidence and work on attacking patterns. Oudenaarde will likely face tougher tests in their own league, but this match served as a harsh lesson in defensive organisation. Both sides will now move on to their next pre-season fixtures, with Lokeren hoping to carry this form into competitive matches.
