SV Zulte Waregem demonstrated superior offensive execution in their 3-1 victory over KRC Genk U23. Zulte Waregem took control of the match early, with an opening goal in the 44th minute. This early goal set the tone, leading to a commanding performance in both halves. Key to their win was their clinical finishing as they converted a high percentage of their opportunities into goals, a hallmark of effective attacking play.

The home team extended their lead with two further goals in the second half. Quick ball movement and efficient teamwork broke down Genk's defensive lines, with the second goal coming in the 68th minute followed by a third shortly after in the 74th minute. The ability of Zulte Waregem to score in quick succession highlighted their pressure tactics and strategic depth. On the defensive end, they maintained composure, conceding only a single goal in the 80th minute, indicating a lapse in focus but nothing detrimental to the outcome.

KRC Genk U23, despite their spirited efforts and slight edge in corner kicks (six to Zulte Waregem's five), struggled with discipline and organization. The accumulation of three yellow cards concentrated within a 15-minute span in the second half underscored their aggressive approach, likely a response to Zulte Waregem's mounting lead. This indiscipline may have disrupted their own rhythm and created defensive vulnerabilities, crucially exploited by Zulte’s offense.

Both teams demonstrated comparable physicality; however, Waregem's superior collective coordination shone through with cleaner attacking sequences and fewer fouls committed, only six compared to Genk's eight. This discipline in possession and defensive organization significantly contributed to their commanding performance. Genk’s inability to effectively manage their defensive responsibilities and the associated challenges culminated in a deserved victory for the home side.
