Ghana defender Daniel Opare missed out on winning the Belgian league title after his side Standard Liege drew 1-1 with eventual winners Racing Genk on Tuesday in the final match of the championship play-offs.
The right-back was seeking his first silverware with the club he joined in the summer last year.
Opare has a consolation of playing in the third qualifying round of next season's Uefa Champions League.
The 21-year-old can end the season with a trophy if Standard are able to beat Westerlo in the Belgian Cup final on Saturday.
Standard only narrowly sneaked into the end of season playoffs and then won eight of their 10 playoff matches, drawing the other two, but the title proved just beyond their grasp.
Genk and Liege finished the season level on 51 points.
After the regular season, each club's points were halved.
Liege had an odd number of points and benefited from a rounding up of their tally for the start of the playoff matches.
Genk's total was not rounded up meaning if the two teams were level in the table Genk were considered to be ahead.
