Union lose title chance after VAR disallows Biondic goal
Union Saint‑Gilloise failed to clinch the championship after a 1‑1 draw with AA Gent. A late winning strike by Biondic was ruled out for off‑side by VAR. The result leaves Union in second place.
The VAR intervention came in the final minutes, judging Biondic’s scorer to be marginally off‑side. The decision nullified what would have been the decisive goal. Union protested but the call stood.
Earlier in the season, Club Brugge’s loss of points opened a potential path for Union to overtake the title. That opportunity vanished with the draw. The points gap remains unchanged.
With the draw, Union must now look to the remaining fixtures to challenge for the crown. Their rivals maintain the lead. The championship race remains tight.
AA Gent secured a valuable point, keeping their own aspirations alive. The draw also boosts their position in the table. Gent’s performance was solid throughout.
Union will aim to convert future chances into victories as the season approaches its climax. The next matches will determine whether they can close the gap. Fans await the upcoming fixtures.
