With Royal Antwerp, Ghanaian midfielder Christopher Garvin Scott, a German-born player, won the Belgian league championship.
The 66-year wait for Antwerp to win the league title came to an end thanks in large part to the former youth star of Bayern Munich.
Following a stoppage time equalizer from former Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld, Royal Antwerp unexpectedly won the league in the final minute of their game against KRC Genk.
The Reds fell out of the title race as Genk defeated them 2-1 in the 15th minute.
After the interval, Antwerp’s Gyrano Kerk tied the score after Toluwalase Emmanuel Arokodare had given Genk the lead just before halftime.
With 15 minutes left, Bryan Heynen gave Genk the lead once more, and they went on to win the league after Union Saint Gilloise faltered in the final seconds of the three-team league title fight.
Alderweireld then created a moment of magic when his shot from outside the box reached the net, giving Genk the championship.
In the suspenseful game’s 90th minute, Scott took Kerk’s position.
He appeared 22 times for the Belgian team during the 2022–2023 league campaign.
