Maria Granatto got the all important goal for KHC Dragons as they continue to put the pressure on Gantoise in the Belgian women’s league.
She scored a 56th minute winner for Dragons in their derby game against Antwerp, the 1-0 win keeping them just one point off the leading side after nine rounds of matches.
They remain unbeaten thus far with seven wins and two draws while Gantoise got their eighth win when they edged out Braxgata 2-1.
Stephanie Vanden Borre’s corner put the reigning champions ahead but Michelle Carey tied things at 1-1 going into the second half. Louise Van Hecke’s goal in the 57th minute, however, was the day’s defining moment to see the Ghent outfit stay top.
KHC Leuven also remain in contention as Lisl Denef’s effort earned them a 1-0 win over Beerschot; they are four points off the leaders.
