The next day Anderlecht beat Racing Genk 4-1 and then Standard Liège 2-0. Battle for Europe Club Brugge and Gent qualified for the UEFA Cup. The relegation dog fight Charleroi avoided relegation with a controversial draw against Anderlecht on the last day of the season. Anderlecht were already champions and played with Enzo Scifo who had previously signed a deal with Charleroi. However, the result was irrelevant as Geel lost their last match to Club Brugge and were thus relegated with Lommel.
