In the Eredivisie match held on May 5, 2024, the home team Heracles Almelo encountered a devastating defeat against the away team RKC Waalwijk with a stunning five-goal margin, which came across quite clearly in the match's final 0-5 scoreline.

Key driving factors behind Waalwijk's triumphant performance were its fiercely aggressive offensive plays, leading to significantly higher shots on target, culminating in the 5 goals, and their dominance on set pieces, reflected in the number of corner kicks (9) they had relative to Heracles (4).

Notably, the first goal was scored in the 7th minute of the first half and the final whistle blew with the scoreline displaying a dominant 0-5 in favor of Waalwijk. The subsequent goals kept coming without any response from the home team, with the last two goals scored almost back-to-back in the 79th and 81st minute of the second half, securing Waalwijk's victory.

In disciplinary terms, both teams demonstrated reasonably fair play with only a singular yellow card issued to each team, and no red cards given. The fouls committed by both the teams stood at 8 for Heracles and a slightly higher 14 for Waalwijk.

The home team Heracles couldn’t produce a single offside threat indicating their lack of aggressive forward play, whereas Waalwijk was caught offside once, suggesting their more ambitious and attack-focused gameplay.

However, it's crucial to note that despite the high foul count for Waalwijk, the fouls didn't translate to significant opportunities for Heracles, indicating deficiencies in their set-piece execution.

In conclusion, Waalwijk's dominant performance, reflected in the goal count as well as their aggressive game-play proved instrumental in their victory. On the other hand, Heracles Almelo's inability to capitalize on the fouls committed by Waalwijk and their lack of offensive threat culminated in their downfall in this encounter. The match quite evidently belonged to the away team, their approach was both effective and rewarding as indicated by the numbers.
