GENK, Belgium (Interstat) — Eend Termien delivered a commanding performance Sunday, overwhelming KFC Nijlen 5-1 in a Belgian Division 2 match at Stadion ’t Heke.

The victory solidified Eend Termien’s strong standing in the league, improving its season record to 17 wins, six losses and five draws. KFC Nijlen’s struggles continued, falling to 8-10-9 in league play.

The match was effectively decided by a dominant first-half display from the hosts. Substitute Lennert Leemans opened the scoring in the 15th minute, setting the tone for the afternoon. Forward Arne Cuypers doubled the advantage in the 36th minute, and Andy Dauwe added a third just seven minutes later, sending Eend Termien into halftime with a formidable 3-0 lead.

Any hope of a Nijlen comeback was extinguished early in the second half when Cuypers netted his second goal of the day in the 56th minute, completing his brace. Israel Mpeti Mambo added a fifth for Termien in the 84th minute.

Nijlen managed a late consolation goal in the 90th minute from defender Joren Leyssens, who also recorded an assist in the match. Leemans also finished with a goal and an assist for Termien.

The lopsided result was in line with pregame projections. Interstat’s game simulator had predicted a 3-1 victory for Eend Termien, and its ELO rating system gave the home side a 91.10 percent probability to win.

The match was a reversal of the teams’ previous meeting this season on Oct. 4, 2025, when KFC Nijlen secured a 2-1 home victory.

Discipline was an issue throughout the contest, with five yellow cards issued by the officiating crew. Two were shown simultaneously in the 11th minute to Eend Termien’s Joren Leyssens and Lennert Leemans. Further cautions followed for Yannick Verlinden of Termien in the 39th minute, Martijn Stefani of Termien in the 74th and Sam Vermeulen of Nijlen in the 78th.

Eend Termien will look to maintain its form when it travels to face KSK Tongeren on April 11. KFC Nijlen, seeking to halt a slide that has seen it concede five goals in three of its last five matches, will host K. Rupel Boom FC on the same date.
