Match Date: 26th December 2023

Competition: Pro League

Home team: KV Kortrijk

Away team: KAA Gent

The match took place at 15:00 EEST where KAA Gent visited KV Kortrijk for a Pro League contest. A strategic and disciplined play from KAA Gent helped them secure a 2-0 victory, leaving no goals for the home team KV Kortrijk.

Statistically analysing the match, offensiveness and efficiency in shot conversion played significant roles in KAA Gent's triumph. The team was able to seize their goal opportunities very early in each half which affected the flow of the game significantly. The first goal came just after 7 minutes and 29 seconds into the first half putting KAA Gent in the driving seat. The second goal came almost at the beginning of the second half at the 56th minute and 44th second, effectively doubling their lead and putting more pressure on KV Kortrijk.

Corner kicks were evenly distributed throughout the match, with KV Kortrijk taking 4 and KAA Gent having slightly more at 5. However, Kortrijk wasn't able to make much of their corner opportunities hence losing the chance to pressure KAA Gent's defence.

The discipline was comparable for both teams. Each team received one yellow card, with KAA Gent's card shown at the 37th minute and 4th second of the first half which didn't impact their forward momentum and KV Kortrijk's at the last minute of the first half which carried a psychological disadvantage into the second half.

Interestingly, despite being the away team, KAA Gent managed to dictate the pace and control of the game, forcing KV Kortrijk onto the back foot. No player from either the home or away team was given a red card, indicating a rather controlled and disciplined play from both sides.

In conclusion, KAA Gent's early goals in both halves and their effective control of the match flow were significant factors in their victory over KV Kortrijk. KV Kortrijk, on the other hand, didn't manage to seize their opportunities which ultimately cost them the match. Urbane discipline from both teams kept the match from escalating into a foul-ridden contest, but KAA Gent was evidently superior when it came to making their chances count.
