In this evenly matched encounter between KV Kortrijk and KV Oostende in the Pro League on 28th January 2023, both teams ended the match with a 2-2 draw showcasing strong performances from both sides.

KV Kortrijk's offensive performance was decisive in securing their two-goal contribution. Their initial goal came relatively early in the first half at 20 minutes 9 seconds, an advantage that was relatively short-lived as KV Oostende promptly leveled the score just before the halftime whistle at 49 minutes 27 seconds. A back-and-forth battle unfolded in the second half, with the first goal being claimed again by KV Oostende at 84 minutes 24 seconds. Not to be outdone, KV Kortrijk snatched back a point with a decisive goal at 89 minutes 11 seconds in the second half, ensuring the match ended on even terms.

Both teams utilized their set-piece opportunities with KV Oostende generating more threats with five corner kicks compared to KV Kortrijk's two. This allowed them to apply constant pressure on their opponents' backline. Notably, KV Kortrijk's defensive discipline could be improved, as evidenced by the three offsides called against them compared to one for KV Oostende.

In terms of discipline, KV Kortrijk saw a yellow card in the second half, while KV Oostende maintained a clean slate throughout the match which might be an indication of a better-controlled defensive performance. However, the foul count for both teams was relatively close, with 6 fouls for KV Kortrijk and 4 for KV Oostende which shows individual player discipline didn't have a significant impact on the overall match dynamics.

Despite being sent into offside more often and having less corner kick opportunities, KV Kortrijk was still able to match KV Oostende's goal count, a testament to their efficiency and determination in the final third. As far as KV Oostende is concerned, their exploitation of corner kicks and maintaining controlled defence paid off rewarding them the equalizer late in the game, though they might reflect on missed opportunities to take the full three points.

Overall, based on the statistical factors, both teams showcased their unique strengths on the field. However, it was ultimately KV Kortrijk's late goal under pressure that decided the final 2-2 outcome, turning what could have been a loss into a crucial draw.
