Let’s continue to minute 95, when it was already 1-2 in favor of Patro Eisden Maasmechelen.
At that moment, Lommel threw his free kick from the last hope into the large rectangle. The cross was deflected by Stef Peeters, but ended up at the feet of Dries Wouters, who tapped the equalizer into the net in two seconds.
The Sovereign Stadium exploded, but the party was short-lived. The line judge had raised his flag: offside?
No, referee De Keyzer ruled that the goal was valid and pointed to the center spot. A decision that provoked strong reactions from the visitors, but was actually the only right decision.
The images show that goalscorer Wouters is not in an offside position because the ball comes to him from Patro player Peeters.
De Keyzer then entered into a conference with his assistant and decided after just under 8 minutes to disallow the goal. Patro Eisden thus hands Lommel its first home defeat and also takes their third place.
Vice champion Beveren defeated Dender in-house, which welcomed captain Lennard Hens back to the team after a suspension. Beveren seemed assured of victory after the first period with a 2-0 lead, but was surprised by the visitors after half-time, who came back to 2-2.
The home team ultimately won the match thanks to star Anthony Limbombe, who scored a penalty and provided an assist before half-time. Beveren has now been undefeated for five league matches in a row and is in eighth place with 17 points. Dender is sixth with 20.
