EHL champions Gantoise confirm place in next season’s competition
Gantoise’s men confirmed they will return to the EHL next season as they got the result they needed to top the Belgian league table.
Going into the final series, there was a mathematical chance they could be overhauled by Royal Léopold but they stormed to a 5-2 win over Herakles to seal the deal.
They did trail to an early Amaury Keusters goal butdouble from Romain Duvekot and Alexander Hendrickx saw them turn things around to lead 4-1 with five minutes to go.
A late exchange of goals – with Duvekot completing his hat trick – put them out of sight.
Léo, meanwhile, were not able to fulfil their half of the bargain as they fell to a 4-3 home loss to Orée, a result which saw them end six points back in the final standings.
Gantoise will next face Waterloo Ducks in the playoff semi-finals after they eased to a 10-1 win against Namur.
Braxgata, meanwhile, will play Léo in the playoff semi-finals after the former beat Racing Club de Bruxelles 3-2 to end in third place.
