DEURNE/LEUVEN - Last weekend, March 25 and 26, the final of the play-offs in Division 1 was played between Sportoase Antwerp Phantoms and Leuven Chiefs. It turned out to be a thriller weekend with two intense matches. In Leuven, Chiefs took a 3-0 lead in the first period, but the Phantoms were able close the gap in the second. The match then turned into a real nail-biter that finally had to be decided with penalty shots after Overtime. Chiefs took 2 points, Phantoms 1.
In the return game in Deurne, Phantoms dominated the game, but failed to capitalize on all chances. The team from Antwerp leads 4-1 in the third period, but Chiefs does not give in and can close the gap to 4-3, but in vain. Phantoms takes all points to be earned and again crowns itself Belgian Champion in Division 1, back-to-back.
