The U21 Beloften Pro League saw an action-packed match on May 3rd, 2024, with KV Oostende U21 hosting KVC Westerlo U21. The match ended in a significant home victory, with KV Oostende U21 scoring a whopping 5 goals compared to KVC Westerlo U21's solitary goal.

An understanding of this decisive result can be formed by examining the key statistics of the game. One of the most telling numbers is the shots on target difference. Oostende had a total of 12 attempts on goal, triple the amount that Westerlo managed to seal. This disparity in attacking execution made a significant impact on the goal ratio.

It is also worth noting that KV Oostende's goalkeeping was more effective. Despite facing 4 on-target attempts from Westerlo, they only let 1 goal slip through, as compared to the 7 out of 12 for the Westerlo goalkeeper. These numbers indicate both a strong offensive and defensive play from Oostende, especially when compared to Westerlo's performance.

Another factor in the dominance of KV Oostende U21 were the corner kicks. With 8 corners over only 2 from Westerlo, it is clear that Oostende spent more time pushing forward and putting pressure on the away team. This leads to more chances for shots on target, and subsequently, goals.

Westerlo U21, on the other hand, had more shots away from the goalpost (7) than on target (4), illustrating their struggle to convert opportunities. A high count of offsides (2) also points to their effort to push forward but quite often failing to time their runs correctly.

Both teams showed discipline in terms of fouls and cards, with no yellow or red cards for either team. There were a fairly high number of fouls, with Oostende committing slightly more (12) than Westerlo (10). Both teams also used all their substitution options, hinting at attempts to shift tactics and momentum during the game.

In summary, the crucial factors influencing this match's result were Oostende's superior offensive play, resulting in high shots on target, and effective defensive efforts, reflected by a low number of goals conceded. The strategic dominance was demonstrated by the advantageous number of corner kicks, while Westerlo struggled with precision and effective attacking, leading to their defeat.
