Analyzing the Pro League match between Cercle Brugge KSV and Standard Liege held on February 4, 2023, it concluded in a 1-1 draw. This defensively focused match was balanced, considering teams' aggressiveness, implying a high-intensity game fought closely.
The home team, Cercle Brugge, managed to score their only goal in the 2nd half at 01:30:59. Standard Liege, the visiting side, scored their goal early in the second half at 01:20:27. Registering both goals in the second half indicates a tight defense on both sides in the first half of the match.
Looking into the discipline, both teams received an equal number of yellow cards, with each team getting booked three times, reflecting the roughness of the match.

Finally, the offsides count shows that Standard Liege committed two, while the home side Cercle Brugge was caught offside only once. The higher offsides indicate a more aggressively forward pushing strategy by Standard Liege, which was, at times, too eager in their approach.
