Lommel claim dramatic extra‑time point as OH Leuven falter

OH Leuven hosted Lommel SK in Jupiler Pro League matchday nine on 24 October 2026, and the game finished 2‑2 after a frantic extra‑time period. The report opened with the Dutch word “Het” and later used “Een” to describe the encounter, underscoring the tension that unfolded at the Keizersveld.

Early chances and cautions

The first notable incident came in the 12th minute when Takuya Ogiwara of OH Leuven received a “Geel” card. Six minutes later, Stredair Appuah put Lommel ahead with a low finish at the 35th minute, while Shawn Adewoye was cautioned with another “Geel”. A further “Geel” was shown at 45+2 minutes, leaving the home side already on the back foot.

In the first half, the referee also booked Stredair Appuah at the 65th minute, and Robin Mirisola saw a “Geel” at the 73rd minute after his involvement in a set‑piece. The early discipline issues hinted at a match that would be decided by fine margins.

Goals change the balance

Lommel extended their lead when Robin Mirisola struck at the 65th minute to level the score at 1‑1, only for Emmanuel Addai to restore the advantage two minutes later, making it 2‑1. Both goals came from quick transitions that caught OH Leuven’s defence out of shape.

Substitutions began to reshape the teams: Joey Pelupessy left the field for Tom Reyners at the 73rd minute, and Jesper Tolinsson was replaced by Nicolas Rommens at the 79th. Later, Shawn Adewoye swapped for Henry Oware and Robin Mirisola for Kyan Vaesen, signalling both managers’ attempts to regain control.

Late drama seals the draw

In the dying moments, Siebe Schrijvers’ mistimed challenge gifted Lommel a free‑kick, which Jason van Duiven headed home at 90+6 minutes to force a 2‑2 finish. The same minute saw Takuya Ogiwara taken off for Alessandro Fontanarosa, completing the final round of changes.

Despite creating several chances, OH Leuven could not convert, leaving them with two points from a match they had dominated early on. The side have now scored eight goals in nine league fixtures, a modest return that highlights ongoing inefficiency in front of goal.
