LAUWE, Belgium (Interstat) — Substitute forwards Nana Newman and Obed Kangudia scored crucial second-half goals to propel visiting KVV Sint-Denijs Sport to a 3-1 victory over KWSC Lauwe in a Belgian Division 3 match on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at Stadion Jan Verhoeve.

The result avenged Sint-Denijs Sport’s home loss to Lauwe from the reverse fixture in September and solidified its position in the upper tier of the division standings. The visitors improved their league record to 16 wins, six draws and six losses, while Lauwe moved to 10 wins, seven draws and 11 losses.

The match, projected to be a tight affair by statistical models, exploded with two goals in a chaotic two-minute span late in the first half. Sint-Denijs Sport struck first in the 28th minute when Newman, who had recently entered the match, found the net. Lauwe responded almost immediately, with Jeremy Wiafe equalizing just two minutes later to send the teams into halftime level at 1-1.

The pivotal phase of the contest came early in the second half. Kangudia, another substitute for the visitors, broke the deadlock in the 49th minute, putting Sint-Denijs Sport ahead for good. The assist was credited to defender Maxim Vancompernolle. The visitors then put the game out of reach 10 minutes later. Ryan Adim scored in the 59th minute to extend the lead to 3-1, with the assist coming from substitute Lotfi Hajjab.

The game was a fractious affair, with six yellow cards issued by the referee, four of them in a tense three-minute period shortly after Lauwe’s equalizer. Vancompernolle and Lauwe forward Enrique Tanghe were booked in the 35th and 36th minutes, respectively, followed by Lauwe’s Sander Van De Velde in the 38th. Thibau Laevens of Lauwe saw yellow in the 52nd minute, while Sint-Denijs Sport substitutes Hajjab and Enoch Amoah were cautioned in the 60th and 66th minutes.

The victory continues a strong run of form for Sint-Denijs Sport, which has now won three of its last four league matches, including a 2-0 win over Fenixx Beigem Humbeek on March 29. Their only recent setback was a 1-0 road loss to KFC Wambeek Ternat on March 22.

For Lauwe, the defeat marks a stumble as the team sought consistency. Prior to this match, Lauwe’s form had been mixed, with a win, a draw and a loss in its last three outings. The home side had defeated Fenixx Beigem Humbeek 1-0 on March 8 but fell 2-0 at Erpe-Mere United on March 27.

The performance of Sint-Denijs Sport’s bench proved decisive, with substitutes directly involved in all three goals. Newman and Kangudia provided the finishing touches, while Hajjab and Amoah contributed assists, underscoring the depth that carried the day.

Sint-Denijs Sport will look to build on this momentum when it hosts OLSA Brakel in its next Division 3 match on April 19. Lauwe, aiming to rebound, will travel to face KFC Voorde-Appelterre on the same date.
