RFC Antwerp win despite having two goals disallowed.
All of the goals in RFC Antwerp’s game against KAS Eupen fell in the second half. Antwerp took the lead on 52 minutes through Owusu.
However, the Great Old’s joy was short-lived as Ocansey equalised for Eupen just 4 minutes later. Antwerp’s Batubunsika saw his goal disallowed for pushing, while a little later an Mbokani goal was also disallowed this time for off-side.
It was third time lucky for Antwerp on 83 minutes when Bolingi scored what turned out to be the winning goal. The result leaves RFC Antwerp 3rd with 49 points from 28 games. KAS Eupen are 12 with 29 points.
