However, the captain couldn’t come in clutch when the pressure piled on Wednesday.

Antwerp found themselves up 2-0 against Shakhtar Donetsk, but an impressive second half from the visitors turned things 3-2.

Drama ensued at the death, and the hosts were handed a 97th-minute penalty. Alderweireld, however, stepped up and missed as the ball went wide of the post.
