Sporting Hasselt beat Spoeven-Mopertingen 4:0 in a club friendly on Friday evening. The match took place on 8 August 2026 and ended without controversy. One goal was recorded in the data at 90+2 minutes, though the final score tells a different story.
The visitors had been struggling before this encounter. Their last five results showed a mix of defeats and draws, including heavy losses to Club Brugge and Zulte Waregem. To be fair, they did pick up a win against Rochefort and a draw with Lokeren-Temse.
Hasselt came into the game with momentum from their recent friendlies. They had beaten Tongeren 10:0 and Eendracht Aalst 4:1, though the 2:1 win over Mechelen and the 1:1 with Gel were more modest. By then they had already lost twice to Anderlecht and Mechelen in earlier fixtures.
What stood out was the late goal at 90+2. And here's the thing — you watch a friendly and you expect the action to build toward something, even if it's just for fun. The goal came when most players would be winding down, packing bags, heading to the pub.
The result leaves Hasselt in a better position for what comes next. Spoeven-Mopertingen's recent form suggests they have work to do before the season starts properly. One clean sheet in a friendly doesn't solve everything, but it's a start.
