On January 28, 2023, in the Women's Super League match between Yellow Red KV Mechelen and KRC Genk, it was a commanding performance from the away side. KRC Genk emerged winners with an emphatic 4-0 victory exploiting Mechelen's defensive frailties.

KRC Genk demonstrated their attacking strategy right from the start, with the first goal scored as early as the 3rd minute of the game. Their second strike came close to the end of the first half, at the 42nd minute, leaving Mechelen with a daunting task in the second half.

The harsh reality of this mountainous task became undeniable when Genk scored their third and fourth goals within a span of three minutes (70th and 73rd minutes) in the second half. At this point, it was no longer a battle for points but rather a test of character for Mechelen's women.

Interestingly, despite pummelling four goals, Genk did not significantly monopolize the game by corners as they had zero corner kicks. This suggests their goals were mostly crafted from open play scenarios, indicating a fine implementation of direct play style which seemed to harmonize perfectly with their strategy.

Mechelen, on the other hand, had two corner kicks but could not convert those opportunities. Both teams had their fair share of offside calls, with Genk being flagged offside four times and Mechelen once. Although these offside statistics did not significantly affect the final outcome, it highlights the defensive lines' attempts to quell rival attacks using the offside trap.

Discipline-wise, the away side was flawless with no cards shown to any of their players, which suggests they managed to keep their composure throughout the game in spite of the high stakes. Conversely, the home side player picked up a yellow card in the 24th minute of the game. It's worth examining whether this caution had any impact on Mechelen's game plan and their ability to respond to Genk's offensive maneuvers during the match.

To conclude, based on the given data, Genk's early and successive goals, excellent discipline and effectiveness to score from open play significantly attributed to their victory. For Mechelen, their failure to make the most of their set-pieces, being at the receiving end of disciplinary action, and their inability to handle Genk’s direct play in this match were their Achilles heel.
