Notes:
  1. ^ The match between Binche and SL16 FC ended 1–2, but the result was converted into a 5–0 forfeit win for Binche as SL16 FC was not able to provide the identity documents for all players present.[4]
  2. ^ The match between Union SG B and Binche ended 2–2, but the result was converted into a 0–5 forfeit win for Binche as Union SG B did not comply with regulation B4.121 which states that at least half of the registered players must have been trained in the club and at least two-thirds of all registered players have been trained in Belgium.[5]
