Gantoise and Antwerp separated in a 2-2 draw during the 27th day of the Belgian football championship on Sunday at the Ghelamco Arena. Both teams are holding on to their position in the top 6, sixth and fourth respectively. Only two points separate them.
Eliminated from the Conference League on Wednesday by Maccabi Haifa, La Gantoise started with offensive intentions and took control of the match with an own goal from Toby Alderweireld (16th), the Antwerp captain clumsily countering a recovery from Pieter Gerkens following a good cross from Archie Brown.
The Great Old was quick to react and quickly obtained a penalty following a foul by Ismaël Kandouss on a mischievous Jelle Bataille. Jacob Ondrejka beat Daniel Schmidt at 11 meters. The Brown-Gerkens duo then returned the advantage to Ghent, the first author of another good cross from the left for the second, who took the ball sliding to score (28th).
In the second half, the Buffalos continued to push and had a few chances via Omri Gandelman (48th) or Tarik Tissoudali (55th, 63rd) but failed to make the break, letting Antwerp equalize at the end of the match. George Ilenikhena broke away from the penalty spot to take a cross from Victor Udoh and score (84th). La Gantoise pushed at the end of the match to regain the advantage but the score did not change once more.
Antwerp remains fourth in the standings with 45 points, the same total as third-placed Club Brugge. Behind, La Gantoise is sixth with two points less, the same total as Genk, fifth.
