K. Lierse Kempenzonen's decisive 3-0 victory over KAS Eupen was a masterclass in efficiency and defensive discipline. The home team capitalized on their chances early, with their first goal setting the tone in the 23rd minute. Their precision in front of goal was reflected in the scoreline, suggesting a clinical approach rather than a high volume of attempts. Eupen, despite edging the corner count with seven to Lierse’s five, failed to convert these set-piece opportunities into tangible advantages, underlining their lack of penetration in the final third.

Statistical factors highlight Lierse's disciplined gameplay, with only two fouls conceded throughout the match. This contrasts sharply with their three yellow cards, which were more a reflection of tactical fouls rather than a lack of discipline, demonstrating intelligent game management, especially after their second and third goals in quick succession during the second half. Interestingly, the second goals were separated by just four minutes, a period that saw an episode of intense pressure from Lierse that caught Eupen off guard.

KAS Eupen struggled to find rhythm in their play, as evidenced by their inability to score, despite having more corners. Their single yellow card late in the second half signifies frustration rather than tactical astuteness. Lierse’s defensive organization was key, effectively neutralizing Eupen's advances while exploiting the spaces left vulnerable as Eupen pushed forward. Ultimately, Lierse's teamwork and precise finishing were the defining factors that separated the two sides on the day.
