2012 Soccerway Period winners The season is divided into three periods. The first ten matchdays together form the first period, matchdays 11 to 22 form period two and the last 12 form period three. The three period winners take part in the Belgian Second Division final round together with the winner of the 2011–12 Belgian Pro League relegation playoff. The winner of this final round gets to play in the 2012–13 Belgian Pro League. In case one or more periods are won by the team winning the league or in case one team wins multiple periods, the extra places go the teams finishing the highest in the league not already qualified. So in the theoretical case that one team wins all three periods and becomes the league champion, then the teams in positions 2, 3 and 4 will take part in the final round. Period 1 Already after the first nine matches of the season, Eupen clinched the first period title. main WDL Q EUP Eupen CHA Charleroi W-B Waasland-Beveren OOS Oostende LOM Lommel 8 2 0 25 9 6 2 2 22 15 6 1 3 15 8 5 4 1 19 11 5 3 2 14 9 #ACE1AF Belgian Second Division final round C 1) points; 2) number of matches won; if teams are still tied a playoff is organised. 23 October 2011 Period 2 main WDL Q CHA Charleroi EUP Eupen OOS Oostende W-B Waasland-Beveren HEI Heist 9 1 2 18 6 7 3 2 19 9 6 3 3 23 10 6 3 3 18 17 6 2 4 22 16 #ACE1AF Belgian Second Division final round C 1) points; 2) number of matches won; if teams are still tied a playoff is organised. 27 February 2012 Period 3 main WDL Q W-B Waasland-Beveren CHA Charleroi OOS Oostende TUB Tubize WOL Woluwe 9 1 2 25 8 8 2 2 24 13 8 2 2 19 5 7 2 3 17 14 5 3 4 15 14 #ACE1AF Belgian Second Division final round C 1) points; 2) number of matches won; if teams are still tied a playoff is organised. 16 May 2012 Top goalscorers Including matches played on 29 April 2012; Source: Soccerway RankPlayerClubGoals1CMR Hervé OnanaWaasland-Beveren182SEN Moussa GueyeSC Charleroi173FRA Samy HouriFC Brussels15GER Christian SantosAS Eupen155BEL Janis CoppinFC Dender14BEL Anthony Di LalloSV Roeselare14GRE Ioannis MasmanidisAS Eupen14FRA Mickael SeoudiWaasland-Beveren149BEL Davy BrouwersLommel United13GRE Stavros GlouftsisSportkring Sint-Niklaas13BEL Bart WebersK.S.K.
