The match between KRC Genk and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise was a tightly contested affair, with Genk emerging victorious by a narrow margin of 2-1. The defining moments came in the second half, with Genk scoring two goals within quick succession. The first goal, scored by Genk at 68 minutes into the game, seemed to change the momentum, giving the home side increased confidence and fluidity in their play, which was quickly capitalized on when they doubled their lead just 14 minutes later.

Although Union Saint-Gilloise managed to pull one back shortly after Genk's second, their comeback lacked the ultimate effectiveness due to several missed opportunities. The visitors actually led the game in corner kicks, edging Genk with a total of five to four. However, they could not convert these set-pieces into significant goal threats. The inability to draw level can be attributed in part to their struggle against a well-organized Genk defense that maintained discipline throughout, as evidenced by their lone yellow card.

Genk's discipline was matched by their tactical nous, particularly when surging forward. Despite the team's single offside infringement more compared to Union Saint-Gilloise, Genk's quick transition and decisiveness in the final third bore fruit. The visitors failed to exploit their somewhat better disciplinary record, not receiving any yellow cards, by failing to apply the necessary pressure on Genk's defense. Genk's superior ability to utilize key moments effectively, evidenced by their successful conversion rate, was the paramount factor in their triumph.
