1992 Belgian Cup final

While the first half was a dull affair, KV Mechelen took the initiative in the second half and got the best chances to take the lead with Marc Emmers seeing his shot punched away by Svilar, Philippe Albert dribbling past several Antwerp players and Zlatko Arambasic missing a big opportunity. Antwerp was able to open the score against the run of play, with Wim Kiekens heading in a free kick by Patrick Van Veirdeghem with just under 20 minutes to play. Somewhat later a penalty kick could possibly have been given for a tackle by Gijsbrechts on Alex Czerniatynski but referee Alphonse Constantin judged it not to be a foul. Mechelen was not able to respond until two minutes before the end of the regular time when Zlatko Arambasic was able to outrun the entire Antwerp defense and score the equalizer.

Mechelen kept the momentum going as only five minutes into extra-time René Eijkelkamp was able to convert a long-range kick over Svilar to give his team the lead. At the other end Michel Preud'homme needed cat-like reflexes to keep Czerniatynski from heading in the equalizer. With several Mechelen players starting to become fatigued and suffer from cramps, it seemed inevitable that Antwerp would score. First Hans-Peter Lehnhoff hit the crossbar, but eventually just three minutes before the end of the game, Alex Czerniatynski was able to easily tap in a loose ball after Michel Preud'homme could not hold on to a difficult shot by Willy Vincent.

The penalty shootout would become the longest ever in a Belgian Cup Final (and still is as of 2022), as 22 penalty kicks were needed to decide a winner, with Ratko Svilar eventually saving the shot by Lei Clijsters.
