The home side started strongly and were fortunate to take the lead with Jansen’s 16th goal this year in the “big category”, just in the 14th minute of the match.
Indeed, things continued to go… well for Antwerp as the Brussels side saw Linen to be expelled with straight red card in 57′.
However, Saint-Jiloise managed to level the match, at 80th minuteeven with his help Vermeerenwho with own goal drew 1-1 and kept his rival alive in the “race” for the title, since the two teams they remain tied with 46 points!
