  Nigeria's and Royal Excel Moscron forward Taiwo Awoniyi had survived punishment from the Belgian football union dispute commission, BSNSports reports. The lanky striker was charged after the jupiler league game against his former team KAA Gent for displaying the religious inscription on his shirt after scoring. He wrote on his under shirt "Fear God and keep His commandments". The centre referee included it in his match reports but the disputes commission believed his actions hurt no one. Awoniyi has netted 5 goals for Mouscron since he joined the club during winter transfer from Liverpool enroute Gents.
