In this Super League Women's showdown between Standard Liege (Wom) and RSC Anderlecht (Wom) on September 16, 2023, Standard Liege took the victory with a final score of 2-1. This result may have surprised some bettors, especially as the match heavily involved retaining possession and pressing play, as evident from the statistics and data provided.

Standard Liege’s two goals had a decisive impact on the game. Despite the early opening goal at 31:29 in the first half, it was the second goal at 01:23:44 in the second half that dramatically swung the outcome in their favour. Even though Anderlecht made an effort to retaliate, they could only bring up a consolation goal at 01:24:56, just a little more than a minute after Liege's second goal.

It's interesting to note the Corner Kicks' stats. Anderlecht dwarfed Liege in this category with a whopping 9 compared to Liege’s lowly 3. Typically, this is a sign of a team winning the territorial battle and creating more goal-scoring chances from these positions. However, in this case, despite Anderlecht's numerical superiority in corner kicks, it didn't translate into more goals, proving the superior efficacy of Liege's defence.

Liege recorded three offsides while Anderlecht registered only two. Practical implications of this could suggest Liege was particularly aggressive in pushing forward with their attacking play, sometimes falling victim to Anderlecht's well maintained defensive line. On the flip side, Anderlecht’s low offsides number indicate that their attackers were likely less proactive in seeking outward passes behind the defence.

When it came to discipline, both teams showcased similar levels of control, each receiving a single yellow card, both in the second half, at 01:13:50 and 01:32:43 respectively. No red cards were handed out, suggesting a fair approach from both teams despite the intense competition.

Overall, the critical factor that stands out from this encounter, and a note for bettors, is that while Anderlecht trumped the match data in some areas - like the number of corner kicks, they weren't able to convert these into a win. Standard Liege’s goals, timely scored in each half coupled with an efficient defence, led to their victory, demonstrating the importance of precision and converting opportunities into goals.
