In a tightly contested Pro League match on 4th February 2024, home team RSC Anderlecht edged out KAA Gent with a 1-0 victory. This win was grounded on the early goal scored by Anderlecht at 45:40 in the first half, which proved to be the only goal of the match.

Analyzing the statistical data on the match, discipline seemed to be a major factor affecting KAA Gent. They collected a total of four yellow cards, two in each half, significantly more than one yellow card that RSC Anderlecht received. These continuous infringements could have impeded the flow and rhythm of their game, thereby reducing their chances of getting back into the match.

In terms of attacking chances, both teams were perfectly matched, with each side earning five corner kicks and caught offside twice. This implies a relatively similar level of attacking initiative and intent. However, Gent's inability to convert their opportunities into goals was critical to the game's outcome.

There was no significant difference concerning discipline between both sides as Anderlecht also had to navigate through a good part of the second half with a booked player. Notably, though, neither team was reduced to ten men, with no red cards being issued.

In conclusion, both teams showed equal opportunities of corners and offside calls showing that both attacks were very much in the game. However, the game changer was the early goal scored by Anderlecht which was efficiently backed by their defensive effort for the rest of the game. On the other hand, KAA Gent will need to significantly improve their discipline having received four yellow cards, a factor that could hinder their performance and tactics.

In the end, it was the timely goal and defensive resilience that worked in favor of RSC Anderlecht, delivering them a 1-0 victory over KAA Gent in this close encounter.
