Christopher Scott wins Belgium league title with Royal Antwerp

Ghanaian midfielder, Christopher Garvin Scott has won the Belgium league title with Royal Antwerp.

The German-born Ghanaian was instrumental for his side who clinched their first league title in 66 years.

Scott and his outfit won the title following a 2-2 away draw with KRC Genk on Sunday.

Genk came close to winning the title but a stoppage time strike from former Tottenham Hotspurs defender Toby Alderweireld changed the narrative.

Nigerian international Toluwalase Arokodare shot Genk into the lead at the stroke of first half as the host went to recess with a one goal advantage.

After the break, Royal Antwerp leveled the pegging through Netherland international Gyrano Kerk in the 58th minute.

Bryan Heynen scored in the 75th minute to restore Genk’s lead but Alderweireld late strike ensured Royal Antwerp shared the spoils to clinch their first title since 1957.

Scott replaced Kerk in the 90th minute of the dramatic encounter.

He made 22 appearances for the Belgium outfit in the 2022/23 league season.
