KV Kortrijk vs. Royale Union Saint-Gilloise presented a closely contested matchup, marked by strategic finesse and disciplined play. Union Saint-Gilloise clinched a 2-1 victory, underpinned by their clinical finishing and sharp attacking line. The early lead established in the first half through a goal at the 33-minute mark set the tone for their offensive efficiency. This early advantage allowed them to execute a more calculated approach in the second half, capitalizing on a set play which widened their lead.

Kortrijk, albeit resilient, struggled to maximize their offensive opportunities, as evidenced by their seven corner kicks translating into just one goal. The home team maintained a better discipline in terms of offside, avoiding any flags, a testament to their cohesive movement against a tactically sound Union Saint-Gilloise defense that only slipped into offside once. This suggests Kortrijk's adherence to a more refined positional awareness, yet it was insufficient to neutralize Union’s knack for delivering decisive blows.

A key aspect of Union Saint-Gilloise's successful outing was their balanced discipline, matched only by Kortrijk with both teams each committing two fouls and being issued two yellow cards. This parity in physicality emphasizes the tactical nature of the game, where both sides exhibited controlled aggression. However, the timing of Union’s goals was critical; scoring early in each half disrupted Kortrijk’s tactical plans, placing them in a reactive stance throughout the match.
