Oud-Heverlee Leuven's encounter with KRC Genk ended in a 1-2 victory for the visitors. Genk's ability to seize the early initiative with two goals inside the first 20 minutes set the foundation for their triumph. Genk's efficiency in front of the goal was exemplified by their quick succession of goals, showcasing lethal finishing and capitalizing on Leuven's defensive lapses.

Leuven managed to pull one back before half-time, highlighting their resilience. However, their inability to convert more opportunities into goals ultimately prevented them from leveling the match. Both teams were evenly matched in terms of corner kicks, with six apiece, indicating frequent build-up play but equally strong defensive setups, particularly from Genk, as they curtailed Leuven’s advances following the early setbacks.

Disciplinary issues emerged for both sides in the second half, with each team receiving two yellow cards, suggesting aggressive gameplay as the match progressed. Despite the home team committing no fouls, Genk's two fouls did not significantly alter the game's dynamic. This disciplined approach by Genk, despite the physicality, allowed them to maintain their lead while also reflecting the controlled aggression necessary to secure the win.
