Winning at the Bosuil is not something every team can do. It has also made it difficult for Antwerp supporters to swallow a defeat for their team.
In the competition, only KV Mechelen did it, grabbing the three points from the Bosuil. In the play-offs, the Antwerp supporters have already seen two teams visit and their teams were defeated twice. A first time against RC Genk, last Thursday with solid 0-3 figures against Union.
Some supporters online believe that it was their team’s worst match in years. The fact that the supporters were displeased was also noticeable in the stadium. Especially after Puertas’ 0-3 in the 87th minute, many supporters took the plunge and left the stadium early.
“Abandon your team”
This was not appreciated by the supporters who continued to support their team despite the result. A loud “Abandon your team” echoed through the stadium, addressed to their own supporters. This resulted in mixed reactions online.
For example, there were supporters who felt that it would be better to sing that to the players, that they were letting their club down:
Others mainly criticized their own supporters who left early, sometimes accompanied by strong words:
The always praised unconditional support in the Bosuil seems to be being affected. After last year’s poor year, Antwerp now plays a supporting role in play-off 1, something that the supporters clearly appreciate only moderately.
