Outstanding performance
Sint-Truiden•AttackerAntwerp controlled the game by every underlying metric - 58% possession, 443 passes at 84% accuracy, and 67 dangerous attacks to Sint-Truiden's 34 - yet it was the visitors who made their limited chances count. Ryotaro Araki's early strike set the tone, and although Snayder Porozo's header pulled Antwerp level after the break, Sint-Truiden's clinical edge told: six big chances created compared to Antwerp's zero proved decisive. Substitute Samed Bazdar was the difference-maker, scoring twice either side of Kaito Matsuzawa's strike as Sint-Truiden ran riot in a devastating 18-minute spell between the 73rd and 90th minutes. For Antwerp, this will sting given their territorial dominance and 6-1 corner advantage, while Sint-Truiden's efficiency in front of goal - just 7 shots on target from 19 attempts turned into four goals - will delight their manager heading into the title conversation.
