Their match this evening is being reported as suspended, currently 2-0 up Vs Anderlecht

Anderlecht fans keep throwing things at Moris, Union's goalkeeper. Vertonghan trying to calm them down.

12 minutes to go.Union have been down to 10 since Mac Allister was sent off in the first half.

2-1 in added time goal scorer Anders Dreyer

Union through 2-1...could have been quite a nervy finish in the last 3 mins but it took VAR so long to award Anderlecht's goal that by the time it restarted everyone seemed to have lost their energy. VAR really is shit...

Another unintended consequence of VAR.

Well done USG

MacAllister's sending off was a thing of beauty.

MacAllister's sending off was a thing of beauty.

And the fact he had the audacity to argue with the ref about it!

0-2 up after 30 mins, Nilsson and Amoura.

2-1 Half time. Vertonghan, after a couple of howlers for the Union goals, has pulled one back.

2-2 full time, pity, still 8 points clear though.

Gutting to concede an equaliser in stoppages. Draw is a good result for USG in context of table though.

Home derby for Union on Wednesday - Molenbeek. Busy February - 4 league games, Belgian Cup semi final (2 legs v Club Brugge) and Europa Conference play off (2 legs v Eintracht Frankfurt).

For some reason my game updates stopped at 3-0 so was surprised to see it ended a bit closer than that! Some flair flares, there.

So remind me how the end of season league plays out in Belgium? Are USGs 11 points extra worth anything to them?

Top six play the other teams twice, starting with half the points they won in the regular season, rounded up. Any points gained by rounding are deducted in the case of a tie. Anderlecht are playing tonight so quite likely an 8 point gap by close of play tonight, but they have a game to replay thanks to a VAR f*** up. Only 7 regular season games to go for Union.

‘Misapplication of the laws’: VAR error leads to full replay of Belgian match

Genk were denied a penalty retake in defeat to Anderlecht and the ruling to overturn it is believed to be first of its kind in European football

Assuming Anderlecht win tonight and everything else remains the same until the end of the season, USGs positive points tally will be cut from 8 to 4 then?
