It was an incredible collapse for Victor Boniface and his Union Saint-Gilloise side on the final day of the Belgian season as Alhassan Yusuf's Royal Antwerp were crowned champions in Belgium.

Nigerian duo Victor Boniface and Toluwalase Arokodare suffered premium heartbreak on a dramatic final day of the season in Belgium.

Boniface and his club, Union Saint-Gilloise collapsed in remarkable fashion against Raphael Onyedika’s Club Brugge as former Tottenham defender Toby Alderweireld inspired Royal Antwerp to the league title.

Union SG dominated Brugge at home and took to lead after Boniface assisted Ivory Coast star Simon Adingra to put them 1-0 ahead.

Union SG vs Club Brugge
What heartbreak looks like, Victor Boniface is broken.

Union SG led until a bizarre capitulation in added time as Brugge netted three goals for a 3-1 victory.

At the Cegeka Arena, it was Alhassan and Antwerp who had the last laugh after coming behind twice to snatch a vital share of the spoils against Genk.

Genk vs Royal Antwerp
Toluwalase Arokodare had Genk dreaming, but his beautiful goal was not enough in the end.

Arokodare put Genk in front before Antwerp equalised. Genk’s lead was restored with 15 minutes to play as they look poised for the title.

However, Alderweireld scored a ridiculous screamer in added time to give 10-man Antwerp the point that sealed the title.

Genk vs Royal Antwerp
Alhassan Yusuf and his Royal Antwerp teammates will party all night.
