Xavier Mercier came close to levelling matters in the last 20 minutes with a strike in the centre of the box that was saved by van Crombrugge.
Mathieu Maertens eventually snatched the equaliser for Leuven in the last six minutes with a sensational half-volley from just outside the box into the top corner.
