Mechelen vs Club Brugge KV

A goalkeeper's own goal in the 87th minute threatened to derail Club Brugge's title party, but a 2-2 draw at KV Mechelen proved enough for the visitors to clinch their 20th Belgian championship. Christos Tzolis broke the deadlock in the 17th minute, before Myron van Brederode levelled on the counter just after half-time. Nicolò Tresoldi restored the lead in the 51st minute — a goal mired in controversy, as Mechelen's bench erupted over a handball by Joaquin Seys that VAR waved off, earning a yellow card for an incensed coach Frederik Vanderbiest. The hosts equalised in the 87th minute when goalkeeper Dani van den Heuvel fumbled a Van Brederode corner straight into his own net. It almost cost Club Brugge dearly — but Union SG's simultaneous goalless draw with Gent handed them the title regardless. For KV Mechelen, sixth in the playoff standings, it was a spirited farewell to the campaign against the new champions.
