Val-Dieu Spirou Basket's two-game winning run came to an end in a hard-fought BNXT League contest, as Coretec Oostende held on for a 70–65 victory. The result leaves both sides at 2–2 in the regular season, with the win marking Oostende's turnaround after an opening 1–2 start. Back-and-forth throughout, the game featured six lead changes and four ties. Val-Dieu Spirou Basket controlled the opening quarter, winning 21–14, but Coretec Oostende clawed back in the second to trail by just one at half-time, 33–32. The third quarter belonged entirely to Oostende, who outscored Val-Dieu Spirou Basket 23–12 to build a 10-point lead—including a decisive 10–0 run mid-quarter—and took a 55–45 advantage into the final frame. Val-Dieu Spirou Basket mounted a fourth-quarter response, winning that period 20–15, but it proved too little; the game remained a one-possession affair inside the final two minutes before Oostende closed it out.
