In a Pro League showdown on the 5th of August, RWD Molenbeek 47 managed to secure their victory against Oud-Heverlee Leuven with an overall scoreline of 2-1. Despite both sides putting forward a solid performance, a critical review of the match data reveals key statistical factors that seem to have defined the outcome.

Oud-Heverlee Leuven made a promising start, opening the score at the 18th minute. However, they could not maintain their lead, with RWD Molenbeek 47 levelling the score just before half-time and the ultimate winning goal appearing early in the second half.

Although Oud-Heverlee Leuven showed promising signs of aggression by way of their corner kicks, amassing 15, more than twice as many as their opponents, their efforts were not converted into a sufficient number of goals. In fact, the away team managed to convert less number of corner kicks (6), to two critical and match-turning goals.

On the other hand, the game was marred by an above-average number of fouls committed by both sides; however, Oud-Heverlee Leuven committed a higher number of fouls (6) compared to RWD Molenbeek’s 4. Furthermore, Oud-Heverlee Leuven’s discipline issues were evident as the team accumulated four yellow cards - a glaring indicator of the team's disruptive play that may have affected their overall match performance.

On the topic of offside counts, the home team was caught offside 4 times compared to the singular offside of the RWD Molenbeek 47. This, juxtaposed with the home team's lack of goals, suggests that their attacking players had a hard time timing their runs behind the opposing defense.

The lack of red cards presented in the game demonstrates that despite the heated competition, neither side resorted to extremely rough play that could inevitably damage the spirit of sportsmanship.

In conclusion, although Oud-Heverlee Leuven demonstrated a more aggressive style of play as evidenced by their higher number of corner kicks and fouls, their lack of successful goal conversions and their higher number of yellow cards likely contributed to RWD Molenbeek 47's victory. Despite having less offensive pressure statistically, RWD Molenbeek 47 was able to make use of their opportunities by converting their corner kicks into decisive goals. These factors, in conjunction with the home team's unruly play, likely tipped the result in RWD Molenbeek 47's favour.
