Standard Liege asserted control in the second half to win 3-1 at Oud-Heverlee Leuven. Leuven took the lead with a 1-0 strike early in the second period, but Standard responded with three goals in a decisive 32-minute spell to seal the result. The match finished with no bookings for either side, while Leuven posted more fouls (11) and more corners (7) than Standard (4).

Leuven’s willingness to press and probe is reflected in their higher foul count and the 3 offside calls, suggesting an aggressive approach to sustain a lead. Standard Liege matched that tempo and then shifted to sharper counters, capitalising on moments when Leuven’s shape opened up.

Standard Liege’s attacking sequence after going level was efficient, with three goals coming in quick succession between the 64th and 96th minutes. Leuven’s defence appeared favoured by Standard’s pace and vertical movement, as gaps emerged and transitions were exploited.

Leuven’s higher corner count indicates sustained set-piece intent, but this did not translate into a decisive advantage in the final result. In tactical terms, Standard Liege demonstrated better game management in the second half, converting key open-play opportunities and preserving structure to withstand prolonged pressure from Leuven.
