2023-11-24 22:01:00

A point which places Antwerp in fourth place provisionally (24 points) just ahead of Genk (24 points) and Cercle de Bruges (22 points). Sint-Truiden remains eighth (19 points) within reach of Standard and RWDM (17 points).

After around ten minutes, the match was interrupted following direct contact between Jean Butez and a player from Saint-Trond. The Antwerp goalkeeper, who seemed stunned, was taken care of by the club doctors who gave him permission to play again a few minutes later (12th).

The Trudonnaires played the game during this first half and saw their efforts rewarded with a goal before returning to the locker room. Launched deep into the defense, Jarne Steuckers sent a cross shot to deceive Jean Butez and open the scoring (43rd, 1-0). Just before the whistle, Jelle Bataille tried his luck from afar but his shot went just to the left of the post (45th+3).

Ten minutes from time, Antwerp completely reversed the trend with their only shot on target of the match and got back into the game. After playing his defender, Chidera Ejuke shifted the ball and sent an unstoppable curling shot for Zion Suzuki (81st, 1-1).
