Serious incidents in the stands forced the referee to suspend the Belgian championship match. Antwerp was leading 4-0 against Beerschot, another club from the northern part of Belgium, when visiting fans began throwing smoke bombs, firecrackers, and flares onto the field.

Due to the heavy smoke and lack of adequate security measures, the referee had to stop the match 15 minutes before the end. This incident left a negative impression and will undoubtedly lead to fines for the clubs involved. The match will likely be resumed tomorrow, September 30.

Interestingly, former Barcelona player Mark van Bommel, who coached Antwerp from 2022 to 2024, was spotted in the stands as a fan supporting the club.
