Toby Alderweireld slammed home a stoppage time equaliser to hand Royal Antwerp the Belgian championship for the first time in 66 years in a dramatic conclusion to the season that saw them edge out Racing Genk and Union Saint Gilloise in a three-way race.
Antwerp drew 2-2 at Racing Genk to finish one point ahead of their opponents and Union Saint Gilloise, who were on course for a first title in 88 years but lost out in a dramatic conclusion to their last match at home to outgoing champions Club Brugge.
Former Belgium defender Alderweireld's stunning equaliser combined with a sudden implosion at Union, who let in three goals at the death to lose their game, made Antwerp champions. But Union’s hopes ended when Japanese striker Shion Homma equalised for an under-strength Brugge in the 89th minute, which suddenly thrust Genk into pole position.
Genk, who only had an outside chance of the title before play began, had to hold onto their lead to win the title but Alderweireld’s powerful shot from just inside the area in the fifth minute of added time handed it to Antwerp instead.
