Despite having fewer shots on goal than RSC Anderlecht (8 shots on target), Royale Union Saint-Gilloise proved to be more efficient by converting 50% of their shots into goals (3 goals from 6 shots on target). On the other hand, RSC Anderlecht although having more shots on target, had fewer goal conversions (2 goals from 8 shots), speaking to the superior goaltending of Royale Union Saint-Gilloise's keeper who had 5 saves compared to 4 from RSC Anderlecht.

This was superior to RSC Anderlecht’s single assist. This indicates better coordination and strategic passing within Royale Union Saint-Gilloise's attack.
