In a decisive Belgian Cup match, Royal Antwerp FC secured a commanding 3-1 victory over KAS Eupen. The groundwork for Antwerp's win was laid in an explosive first half where they racked up three goals early on, setting a fast tempo. Their ability to capitalize on Eupen's defensive lapses in the opening 30 minutes, with goals at 2:46, 19:30, and 30:12, emphasized their offensive efficiency and tactical prowess. Antwerp's early dominance allowed them to control the pace and maintain the pressure on a visibly overwhelmed Eupen defense.

Despite their early setback, KAS Eupen showed resilience in the second half, managing to pull one back at the 68th minute. This goal offered a glimpse into Eupen's potential when they managed to find gaps in Antwerp's defenses. However, Eupen's inability to maintain possession and create sustained pressure was evident in their limited number of corner kicks (4 compared to Antwerp's 12) and only four fouls, indicating a lack of aggressive engagement in midfield duels.

Discipline played a crucial role, with three yellow cards handed out—two to Antwerp and one to Eupen—none resulting in red cards. Antwerp committed more fouls, suggesting an aggressive strategy to break up play and disrupt Eupen's rhythm. Despite this, their superior teamwork in the first half and effective control of set pieces highlighted their comprehensive game plan execution. The home team's all-around efficiency, particularly in the first half, solidified their path to victory, underscoring their status as a formidable opponent in the Belgian Cup.
