In an intensely fought contest, Standard Liege (Wom) managed to edge out Oud-Heverlee Leuven (Wom) by a slender 1-0 margin. The decisive moment came early in the first half at the 19th minute, as Standard Liege capitalized on their limited opportunities to score the only goal of the match. Despite having no corner kicks, Standard Liege efficiently utilized their chance to secure the lead, demonstrating remarkable efficiency and precision in their rare offensive push.

In terms of discipline, the match was fiery, with significant disruptions impacting both teams. Oud-Heverlee Leuven received two yellow cards, with both occurring in quick succession during the second half. This undoubtedly affected their flow and strategy. Similarly, Standard Liege earned a yellow card as well, but the most telling impact was the red cards issued to both teams, one each, that curtailed their numerical strengths. This not only disrupted their tactics but also altered the dynamics of play, keeping both sides cautious in their approach.

Oud-Heverlee Leuven displayed dominance in set-piece situations, amassing eight corner kicks against Standard Liege's zero. However, their inability to convert these opportunities highlighted a lack of clinical finishing or perhaps effective marking and defensive organization by Standard Liege. While Leuven’s frequent offsides signaled their aggressive intent, it also underscored their lack of effective communication and coordination in their attacking moves. This failure to stay onside symbolized the critical points where Leuven's game plan fell short, losing a match where they arguably enjoyed territorial advantage.
