There was only one team on the field. And it was not Antwerp, but Charleroi, to everyone’s surprise. The Zebras delivered the best match of their season on the “Great Old” pitch. Stulic, silent since October 21, 2023 and a goal against Antwerp, scored a double. Including a goal after only less than two minutes of play. Totally overwhelmed, the Antwerp players undoubtedly paid for their Belgian Cup match which went to extra time in the middle of the week. This success allows, in any case, De Mil’s men to come back to within three points of the top 6.

Move along, there’s nothing to see. This match between Cecle de Bruges and Union will not be remembered by anyone. Except for Kevin Denkey fans who last saw their striker play at the Jan Breydel Stadium. For the rest not much, the generally dominated Unionists had to be satisfied with the draw against the Cercle. Even if he could have created the hold-up at the end of the match after the expulsion of Magnée. But it is the opportunity to get closer to the podium which flew away this Sunday, for the Union.

Anderlecht was hot. Used to scoring big scores against their opponents in recent times, the Mauves had difficulty this time winning against the red lantern. Beerschot even quickly opened the scoring. But Verschaeren (45th + 7) and Dreyer (93rd) allowed David Hubert’s men not to concede two points. With this victory at the end of the suspense, they return to the podium (3rd).

If the champion was already known, this last Grand Prix of the season in Abu Dhabi still had many interests. The first concerned the battle for the constructors’ championship. Where the title was played between McLaren and Ferrari. But it was the papayas who emerged victorious from this duel thanks to the victory of their star driver Lando Norris. The latter who beat the two Ferraris of Sainz and Leclerc. This is the first time since 1998 that the British have won the manufacturers’ title. The other event was Lewis Hamilton’s last Grand Prix in Mercedes colors. Starting from the back of the grid, the Englishman made a great comeback to finish just off the podium. Before saying a slightly emotional goodbye to the team with which he won 6 titles.
