Gent has achieved an important victory at AS Eupen on February 12. Smail Prevljak scored the only goal of the game with a beautiful free kick. But the hosts are not satisfied with the result and demand a rematch. According to AS Eupen, there was a prior foul in the wall before Prevljak scored his goal. However, referee Lawrence Visser did not blow his whistle for a foul. The Panda's have filed a complaint with the Referee Department but to no avail. Stephanie Forde, the head of referees, explained to Sporza that there was no breach of the rules themselves. AS Eupen is appealing to the KBVB and demands that they be allowed to replay the game. For Gent, this could be a significant blow in the battle for Play-off 1. If they have to replay the game and don't win, they can forget about participating in the play-offs. Then Antwerp and Anderlecht are out of the danger zone. Gent is hot on the heels of Anderlecht and Antwerp and has four games left to play. The Buffalo's now have to wait and see if they have to replay the game. AS Eupen has little to play for, but a point more would put them in fifteenth place, level on points with KV Oostende. Gent's manager will be keeping a close eye on the situation, as will the players, including Smail Prevljak, who scored the winning goal.
