The gap to places one and two is already 19 or 16 points. Even the fourth place, on which you should at least participate in the playoffs for the Europa League, is already five meters away. With Karim Belhocine, the RSC already has the third coach this season. Hein Vanhaezebrouck, with whom the club had gone into the season, had been released shortly before Christmas. Then former Schalke coach Fred Rutten was allowed to try his luck at Anderlecht for about three months. But in mid-April, his term was also over.
The regular season of the Jupiler League had finished the Belgian record champions in fourth place, just five points behind second place. In the home Stade Constant Vanden Stock, the Royal Sporting Club lost only 15 games in one match. But in the championship round, nothing at the Royal Sports Club came together.

The visitors showed a good attitude and took the lead in the fifth minute. Shortly after the start of the second half, Antwerp came to the deserved equalizer. In the end, Coach Belhocine was pleased with the 1-1, as his team could also have lost the game in the second half. Mbokani is still missing.
Genk:

After the regular season, the KRC had seven points clear of defending champion Club Bruges. However, after scoring before the champions’ play-offs and two away defeats from their last eight games, the Blue-Whites are only three points ahead of the reigning champions two games remaining. On Sunday, for the championship leader was the top game at Club Bruges. With a win, Genk could have chosen to become a champion in the rival’s stadium. And the guests got off to a good start and took the lead in the 4th minute.
But in the second half Bruges turned the game and went with 3-1 lead. In the end, the club from the province of Limburg could only shorten to 2: 3. The front runner was a bit unlucky when top scorer Samatta hit the post shortly before the final whistle and missed 3: 3. In the end, however, the league leaders were not aggressive enough, had problems with the second balls and did not defend compact enough. The men of coach Philippe Clement are still struggling a bit away from home. In the recent eight mandatory guest appearances, there were only two victories. But in front of the home fans there were five wins in a row recently, three of them without conceding.
