Tongeren 0-2 Kermt Hasselt: Dominant Display Secures Clean Sheet Victory

Kermt Hasselt recorded a comfortable 2-0 victory over Tongeren in an International Club Friendly on July 26, 2026. The Belgian lower-league encounter saw the away side control proceedings from start to finish, never allowing Tongeren to find a rhythm.

Kermt Hasselt opened the scoring in the first half when a well-worked free-kick routine resulted in a simple tap-in at the far post. The goal visibly settled the visitors, who then dominated possession and limited Tongeren to speculative long-range efforts.

Second Half Control

After the interval, Kermt Hasselt continued to press forward. They doubled their lead in the 65th minute with a counter-attack that sliced through the home defense. The pace of their wingers caused constant problems for Tongeren’s backline, which struggled to cope with the movement.

Tongeren had their best chance in the 78th minute, but the Kermt Hasselt goalkeeper made a reflex save to preserve his clean sheet. The final whistle confirmed a thoroughly professional performance from the away side.

Implications

• Kermt Hasselt’s defensive solidity and attacking efficiency bode well for their league campaign.
• Tongeren will need to address their lack of creativity in the final third before the season begins.
• The friendly offered both managers valuable data on squad rotation and tactical adjustments.

Kermt Hasselt will now prepare for a tougher test in their next pre-season outing, while Tongeren look to bounce back with a more cohesive performance.
