Mechelen's 2-0 victory over Waasland-Beveren on 11 March is one of the matches being investigatedPossible match-fixing which determined the fate of two top-flight teams is part of a widespread probe into corruption in Belgian football. Two prominent agents and Club Brugge's Ivan Leko were detained, although the coach was among six later released. Those matches are Eupen's 2-0 defeat by Antwerp on 3 March, part of the penultimate weekend of the regular league season, and Mechelen's 2-0 win over Waasland-Beveren on the final weekend, on 11 March. Despite Mechelen's victory, they were relegated, while Eupen scored four goals in the last 20 minutes against Royal Excel Mouscron to win 4-0 and survive. Club Brugge later issued a statement showing their support for their coach, who had "always acted in good faith" and would "give his full co-operation" to the investigation.
