Ioanna Papatheodorou scores twice as OH Leuven clinches second consecutive title
OH Leuven captured the Lotto Super League championship for a second consecutive season. The Belgian side defeated Club YLA in the title match with Ioanna Papatheodorou scoring twice in the final five minutes.
The decisive goals came after Papatheodorou entered the game late, yet she managed to find the net twice before the final whistle. Her impact mirrored last year's final against Anderlecht, where she provided a key pass after a beautiful move.
In the previous final, Papatheodorou's assist set up De Ceuster, who scored the winning goal. This season she took the scoring role herself, converting two late chances.
The victory gives OH Leuven back-to-back titles in the women's Lotto Super League. The club's dominance continues as it adds a second crown in as many years.
Leuven's triumph underscores the team's consistency and depth, with the squad delivering under pressure in both finals. The win also highlights the growing competitiveness of Belgian women's football.
Fans are expected to celebrate the achievement across Leuven, with the club likely planning events to mark the historic double. The players and coaching staff will look to build on this success in the upcoming season.
The championship sets a high bar for rivals as the new campaign approaches, promising another intense contest for the league title. OH Leuven will aim to defend its crown with the same determination displayed in the final.
