Despite falling behind in the first half to a goal from KAS Eupen, KAA Gent emerged victorious in a closely fought Pro League encounter on September 24, 2023.

KAS Eupen took the lead early in the game at 27.17 minutes with their only goal of the match, but couldn't maintain their advantage as KAA Gent bounced back with two goals in the second half at 48.52 and 58.05 minutes respectively.

The pressure and determination of KAA Gent were evident in their fightback. However, the difference in discipline between the teams was stark, with Eupen receiving four yellow cards, much more compared to Gent's single yellow. This indiscipline likely disrupted Eupen's rhythm and contributed to their loss. The cards were given at 52.22, 70.46, 84.47 and 86.07 minutes respectively, all in the second half.

Looking at set-piece situations like corner kicks, Eupen dominated with 7 compared to Gent's 3. This dominance didn't translate into the goals they needed, showing that Gent was able to cope under pressure and negate Eupen's set-piece threats. The supremacy of Gent's defensive line is also indicated by Eupen’s lack of offsides, suggesting a well-coordinated and disciplined backline from the home team.

Moreover, both teams were equal in fouls, committing 2 each. Gent also had a player sent off with a red card whilst Eupen kept a complete lineup throughout the game. Despite being a man down, Gent's resilience underlined their character and determination to secure the win.

In summary, the discipline, determined second-half performance, and strong defensive lines were key factors in KAA Gent's win over KAS Eupen. For Eupen, their dominance in corner kicks and lack of discipline, as indicated by the yellow cards, were key highlights of the game. All these factors influenced the final outcome of the match, demonstrating the importance of discipline, resilience and the ability to grab opportunities when they arise.
