In a closely contested match between Standard Liege and Oud-Heverlee Leuven, it was the solitary goal in the second half that defined the final scoreline in favour of the visitors. Offensively, both teams struggled to create clear-cut chances, reflected in the single goal scored throughout the match. Interestingly, Leuven managed to maintain discipline and precision in their attacking play, avoiding offsides entirely, whereas Standard Liege faltered under pressure with two offsides.

Discipline was a telling factor, as Leuven received three yellow cards, indicating their aggressive approach in disrupting Standard Liege's rhythm. Despite this, the visitors managed to keep their defence intact and not concede a goal. The higher number of fouls from Standard Liege, totaling ten, also highlighted their struggle to contain Leuven's forward momentum while attempting to regain possession.
