In the Pro League competition held on 26 November 2023, KV Mechelen exhibited impressive away form securing a commanding 3-0 win over home team KV Kortrijk. Mechelen's team strategy seemed to be more effective, having scored all their goals without a response from Kortrijk.

Mechelen's first half performance was decisive in determining the game's outcome. They managed to put two goals past Kortrijk in the first 17 minutes of play. The early dominance with goals at 5 minutes 48 seconds, and then 16 minutes 34 seconds effectively swung the match momentum in their favour. This could be due to Mechelen exploiting some gaps in Kortrijk's defensive setup, creating openings and capitalizing on them early. Despite earning a yellow card in the first half at 9 minutes 56 seconds, it seemed to have no deterrent effect on their aggressive strategy.

KV Kortrijk were behind the eight ball going into the second half. Despite their efforts, an additional goal from Mechelen at 1 hour 19 minutes 39 seconds in the second half sealed the deal. Despite the pressure from Kortrijk, as shown by their four corner kicks versus Mechelen's three, they were unable to convert any of these opportunities into goals indicating possible inefficiencies in their attacking play.

When it came to discipline, both teams had an equal number of yellow cards, with two each. However, all cards were non-impactful to the outcome of the game as they did not result in red cards or penalty kicks. Fouls were also relatively comparable, with the home side committing 10 and the visitors 11. The offside trap seemed to work well for Kortrijk, catching Mechelen offside twice, but their defense failed to stop the goals from reaching the net.

In conclusion, while the home and away team had relatively similar stats concerning corner kicks, fouls, and yellow cards, KV Mechelen's aggressive and more effective play, particularly in the first half secured their 3-0 win. KV Kortrijk failed to permeate Mechelen's defense and their inability to take advantage of set-pieces evidenced by four unsuccessful corner kicks was detrimental in this game. This match adds further weight to the importance of scoring goals early and maintaining momentum in football.
