Match Overview
The hosts came out of the blocks quickly, and inside the first ten minutes they took the lead.

Stockay responded well and equalised midway through the first half via a penalty.
Key Moments

- 53’ – Goal! Jordi Van Leeuwen restores the lead with a powerful header from a corner.
- 71’ – Save St. Gilloise B goalkeeper Liam Verstraeten makes a brilliant one‑on‑one stop to preserve the lead.
Tactical Analysis
St. Gilloise B employed a fluid 3‑4‑3 system that allowed their wing‑backs to push high and create overloads. The midfield trio of Simon De Bock, Jordi Van Leeuwen and Mathias Schroyens worked tirelessly to win second balls. Stockay‑Warfusee sat deep in a 5‑3‑2 and relied on counter‑attacks, but lacked the final pass to break down a well‑organised defence.
Standout Players
- Jordi Van Leeuwen (St. Gilloise B) – Scored the winner and was dominant in aerial duels.
- Liam Verstraeten (St. Gilloise B) – Key saves kept Stockay at bay.
- Michaël Renquin (Stockay) – A constant threat despite playing for the losing side.
Season Impact
The win lifts St. Gilloise B to 7th place, just two points outside the promotion play‑off positions. Stockay‑Warfusee remain in 10th, seven points clear of the relegation zone but now with little to play for in the final weeks of the season. St. Gilloise B’s young squad continues to impress with their maturity and tactical discipline.
