In their clash in the Belgian Cup, held on 05 December 2023, RWD Molenbeek 47 edged out home team KV Kortrijk with a 1-0 victory. The match was characterized by a contest of defensive solidity between the two teams, demonstrated by the low scoring match with only one goal separating the teams at the final whistle.

The decisive moment in the match came in the second half when RWD Molenbeek 47 broke through KV Kortrijk's defense, scoring the only goal at 01:23:46. Kortrijk's defense seemed unable to respond to this surprise attack, perhaps due in part to their concentration on taking advantage of their slightly superior corner kick opportunities, with 5 in total compared to Molenbeek’s 4.

A review of the disciplinary actions taken during the match reveals a noticeable trend. RWD Molenbeek 47 received four yellow cards, two in each half, indicating a disciplined, high-risk defensive strategy that, while conceding several fouls, managed to keep KV Kortrijk from scoring. Kortrijk, on the other hand, received only one yellow card, mirroring their less aggressive gameplay demonstrated throughout the match.

Despite Molenbeek's frequent run-ins with the match officials, their risky approach proved effective in keeping the hosts at bay. KV Kortrijk, despite having one more corner kick than Molenbeek, could not capitalize on these chances and remained unable to pierce Molenbeek's stringent defense. Kortrijk’s inability to convert their set-pieces into goals was a significant factor influencing the outcome of the match.

In conclusion, RWD Molenbeek 47 managed to secure a tight victory over KV Kortrijk, thanks to their effective defensive performance despite their risk-taking approach that drew several fouls. Moreover, it was KV Kortrijk's inefficiency in exploiting their corner kicks, which contributed significantly to their defeat. The intense focus on the back-line by both teams resulted in a game with less attacking flair, making the single goal by Molenbeek all the more crucial in deciding the match's outcome. This win propels Molenbeek further in the Belgian Cup competition, leaving Kortrijk to reflect on their missed opportunities.
