Charleroi wins Europe Playoffs after uneventful Mechelen-Standard draw

Charleroi has secured the top spot in the Europe Playoffs, guaranteeing them a chance to compete for a Conference League spot. This follows a 0-0 draw between Mechelen and Standard Liège. Standard Liège's draw extends their winless streak in the Europe Playoffs to 28 matches, while Mechelen was already nearly eliminated. The match was marked by a lack of scoring opportunities and a red card for Standard's Alexandropoulos. The game saw few highlights, with long balls and a rare clean sheet for Standard Liège being the most notable aspects. Charleroi will face either Gent or Antwerp for a Conference League berth.
