In the clash between Royal Antwerp FC and KVC Westerlo, the home team emerged victorious with a narrow 3-2 win, showcasing a highly competitive encounter. Antwerp's performance was primarily defined by their effective attack, scoring three goals with notably decisive finishing. In contrast, Westerlo showed promise early on by taking the lead twice in the first half, demonstrating their ability to capitalize on vulnerabilities within Antwerp's defense.

Royal Antwerp FC capitalized on set-pieces, evident by the seven corner kicks they earned throughout the match. This provided them with numerous scoring opportunities, particularly in the second half where they clinched their final two goals. Westerlo, with only three corner kicks and no offsides, struggled to create sustained offensive pressure, often relying on counters which proved insufficient against Antwerp’s more sustained and coordinated offensive efforts.

Discipline and fatigue became a critical factor in the latter stages of the match, especially for Westerlo, who accumulated four yellow cards in the second half. This lack of discipline hindered their ability to maintain defensive coherence and possibly contributed to Antwerp's comeback. On the other hand, Antwerp managed their fouls and yellow cards more effectively, despite also recording three yellow cards in a pressure-filled second half, which allowed them to maintain control in key moments and ultimately secure the victory.
