In a fiercely contested Belgian Cup fixture, Club Brugge emerged victorious over Beerschot VA with a 2-1 victory, largely driven by their superior shot accuracy and defensive discipline.

Club Brugge successfully converted half of their shots on target into goals (6 shots, 2 goals), with a conversion rate that is significantly higher than the home side. This clinical finishing was the key difference, even though they had fewer corner kicks (3 compared to Beerschot VA's 5).

Beerschot VA struggled to convert their shooting opportunities into goals, managing only a conversion of 33% from their shots on target, indicating perhaps a lack of clinical finishing in the final third.

A look at the defensive play also reveals interesting pattern. Beerschot VA's goalkeeper had more saves(4), highlighting a busier day between the sticks compared to Club Brugge's goalkeeper who made 2 saves. This suggests that Club Brugge applied more pressure and created clearer scoring opportunities - ultimately, what counted towards their victory.

With regards to disciplinary record, the game was clean with no yellow or red cards on either side, indicating a fair level-match without significant foul play. This also suggests that neither team was particularly aggressive in their play, focusing more on tactical discipline.

Beerschot VA committed slightly more fouls (10) compared to Club Brugge (8) but this did not have a considerable impact on the final score. Another area where Beerschot VA underperformed was in their number of offside calls (2 against Club Brugge’s 1), potentially indicating a failure of timing their runs in a bid to beat the defence.

The evenly matched number of substitutions (3 each) suggested that both managers were making tactical changes to their line-up, though Club Brugge were more effective in their changes, as seen from the end result.

To sum up, the superior precision of Club Brugge's attack, demonstrated by their higher shot conversion rate combined with a disciplined defense were the key factors that dictated this match's outcome.
