Sint-Truiden saw their Belgian Pro League championship aspirations come to an abrupt end after a clean-sheet loss to table-topping Club Brugge in the playoff round. The defeat left the team unable to close the gap at the summit, effectively ruling them out of the title race. Despite putting up a disciplined defensive effort, the hosts failed to break through Brugge’s backline and conceded a decisive goal that sealed their fate. The result marks a major setback for STVV, which had been riding momentum from recent wins but now must shift focus to securing a top-four finish in the playoff standings to earn a European competition berth. With this loss, the title dream for the current season is officially over.
