The match between Charleroi-Mechelen, abandoned due to the misconduct of some Charleroi supporters, is then repeated from the first minute. Originally it was thought that the game would end in favor of Mechelen, but the Pro League Disciplinary Board decided otherwise. There will be a rematch, but one behind closed doors.
1-0 was the lead Charleroi held in the league game against KV Mechelen on 12 November. Despite the lead, Charleroi supporters ended the game early. They threw all sorts of objects onto the pitch, which resulted in the referee on duty blowing the whistle after 67 minutes.
For a long time it looked as if Mechelen could get the three points and Charleroi would be given flat numbers. Now the game is repeated, but behind closed doors. Malinwa can still appeal this decision. “We are surprised to learn of the verdict of the Disciplinary Committee for Professional Football on the interrupted game between Sporting Charleroi and KV Mechelen,” said Mechelen. “The club will review the verdict together with their lawyers and will issue a statement early next week.” There is a good chance that KVM will move to BAS.
KV Mechelen is in thirteenth place with five games to go. Charleroi still has a chance of play-off 2 with eleventh place.
