Tolu Arokodare opened the scoring for Genk, who could have also won the title with a win. But former Tottenham defender, Toby Alderweireld netted a stoppage-time equaliser to send the title Antwerp's way.

Elsewhere, Victor Boniface assisted Union Saint-Gilloise's only goal in their [1-3] defeat to Club Brugge. With Genk and Antwerp drawing at the Cegeka Arena, Union SG would have been league champions if they had beaten Brugge.

Ademola Lookman could not add to his club-high 13 league goals, but he still supplied an assist in Atalanta's [5-2] victory over Monza.

In the USL Championship, Boluwatife Akinyode had an eventful day as he scored Miami FC's consolation goal just before halftime in their [5-1] loss at Memphis 901, only to be red-carded at the start of the second half.

It was a similar scenario to Tanitoluwa Oluwaseyi, who scored a third-minute opener as San Antonio took a three-nil lead inside the first twenty minutes of their clash with San Diego Loyal. Oluwaseyi was then sent off in the 20th minute to change the complexion of the game, and the visitors scored thrice in the last 15 minutes to escape with a [3-3] draw.
