Especially the people in Belgium around the city of Gent enjoyed his goals, but most of all his match against Cercle Brugge. AA Gent goalkeeper Zsolt Petry was sent off with a red card after a penalty-mistake, but the maximum of two substitutes (at that time) where already used. Dutchman Eric Viscaal took position at the goal to stand there in front of the panalty-taker. AA Gent-striker Viscaal stopped the penalty by a magic save! Later in the game the Buffalo’s (Gent) got a penalty to take against Cercle. Guess who scored?: Eric Viscaal……(former Dutch International)!

In the 2000/2001 season Eric came back to Belgium at KV Mechelen, in 2003 KVM didn't have any money to pay its players and Eric got his own transfer to Dilbeek Sport.
