Westerlo and Genk each needed a point to qualify for their respective sections of the wacky playoff system in the Belgian league. After Genk equalise late in the game, both teams stop playing, knock the ball around, and there are players shaking hands and asking for the ref to blow up early while the game is still ongoing.
Every player on the pitch has been fined €1,000, the two captains have been suspended, Westerlo have sacked their manager and prosecutors are getting involved.

I feel like this kind of thing happens pretty regularly late in the season when a certain result is convenient for both teams... but they just had to take the absolute piss with it for some reason.
