While the home team KRC Genk managed to sneak in the first goal at the 23rd minute, the hustling offense from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise quickly levelled up the score at the 42nd minute and even took the lead within 2 minutes. This phase saw the away team shift the momentum in their favour in a very short span of time.

When it comes to fouls converted into assigned corners, KRC Genk significantly outperformed Saint-Gilloise by securing a whopping 14 corner kicks compared to the latter's 5.

There were even exchanges of possession, challenges, and duels throughout the game between the two sides. But the two back-to-back goals in the first half by Royale Union Saint-Gilloise proved to be the key difference between the two sides.
