Ghana international Denis Odoi delivered a crucial assist to help Royal Antwerp secure a 1-1 draw against Gent on Sunday, September 1, 2024, in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League.

The Black Stars defender started the match as Antwerp traveled to face Gent at the Planet Group Arena. Odoi played the entire match, contributing significantly to his team's effort.

Gent took the lead in the 16th minute with a goal from Sven Kums, who was set up by Jordan Torunarigha. Antwerp equalized in the 30th minute when Tjaronn Chery scored from Odoi’s pass.

With no further goals in the second half, the teams shared the points in a closely contested match. The 36-year-old versatile player has made five appearances for Royal Antwerp so far this season, providing one assist.

Odoi, who joined Antwerp this summer after leaving Club Brugge, was not included in the Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and Niger.
