The U21 Beloften Pro League match between KVC Westerlo U21 and KV Kortrijk U21 on the 22nd September, 2023 was an intense affair dotted with multiple goals and decisive play from both the teams.

The home team, KVC Westerlo U21, had a sparkling start scoring three goals within the first 34 minutes of the game, amassing a significant lead earlier on. The time-stamp between goal 1 (28:55) to goal 3 (33:25), suggests a gap of around 5 minutes, exemplifying a period of strong offensive output and efficient possession control from KVC Westerlo U21.

However, KV Kortrijk U21 didn't hold back and continued to push. They managed to pull one back still within the first half at 41:35, just after the home team received a yellow card at 41:01. The yellow card perhaps weakened the home team's defense, momentarily stifling their momentum and making room for KV Kortrijk to sneak in their first goal.

Into the second half, both teams continued their offensive exploits. KVC Westerlo U21 scored at 01:20:23 before KV Kortrijk U21 managed to cut the deficit to just one, scoring two goals at 01:31:07 and 48:27. Nonetheless, KVC Westerlo U21 sealed their victory with their fifth goal at 51:00, assertively reclaiming command of the game.

In addition to goals, corner kicks can be another reflection of a team's attacking caliber. KV Kortrijk U21 had a total of 6, while KVC Westerlo U21 had 4, indicating that despite their loss, KV Kortrijk U21 was able to generate more set-piece opportunities. However, their conversion rate left room for improvement.

One intriguing aspect of the match was the lack of offside calls against KV Kortrijk U21, suggesting a disciplined approach in their forward line movement and timing, whilst the home team was not as successful, garnering 3 offsides, demonstrating a more aggressive, risk-taking strategy.

Despite the three goals conceded, KVC Westerlo U21's overall performance was commendable, with a swift attack that scored five crucial goals. On the other hand, KV Kortrijk U21 should take lessons from their inability to capitalise on scoring opportunities, their conversion rates, and the time lags between received and dished out goals.

In conclusion, the match was a compelling display of each team's strengths and weaknesses, translating to a valuable scrutiny for future tactical adjustments. The decisive factor was undeniably KVC Westerlo U21's potent early offensive burst within the first half, fundamentally setting the victory course early in the game.
