BRUSSELS, May 21 (Reuters) - Ghent ended their 115-year wait for the Belgian league title on Thursday with a 2-0 victory over Standard Liege that secured a place in next season's Champions League.
The club, nicknamed the Buffalos, reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1992 and have won three Belgian Cups, but never the league.
Their title brings to an end 17 years of dominance by the top four -- Anderlecht, Standard Liege, Club Bruges and Racing Genk.
"Will Ghent turn Belgian football on its head?" daily De Standaard had asked on Thursday morning, adding that no one had tipped Ghent for the title, even when they qualified as second for the playoffs.
