Beerschot vs Patro Eisden

Beerschot VA edged into the promotion final with a dramatic 3-2 extra-time victory over Patro Eisden at the Olympisch Stadion. The decisive blow came in minute 117 when Genki Haraguchi settled a chaotic, breathless night on the Kiel. Brian Plat converted a second-minute penalty to give the hosts the perfect start, but Patro Eisden hit back through Raymond Asante (48') and Radja Nainggolan (63') to take control. Nainggolan's exuberant celebration in front of the home fans sparked pandemonium, cups rained onto the pitch, prompting referee Simon Bourdeaud'hui to suspend play and send both sides to the dressing rooms. Ensar Brahić then hauled Beerschot level deep in stoppage time to force extra time. Beerschot will now face Lommel in the promotion final, while a gutted Patro Eisden exit having twice held the lead, a cruel end to their playoff campaign.
