The game's first major flashpoint arrived after just nine minutes, when Genk had a goal cancelled following a VAR review. That left the first half scoreless, and the only change before the break came at 45', with Robin Mirisola going off and Jusef Erabi entering for the home side.
Royal Antwerp FC reshaped the contest just before the hour as Gyrano Kerk and Anthony Valencia replaced Gerard Vandeplas and Geoffry Hairemans. Genk answered around the 70-minute mark by sending on Yira Sor for Ayumu Yokoyama and August De Wannemacker for Nikolas Sattlberger. Antwerp then followed with Semm Renders for Daam Foulon and Tuypens for Thibo Somers.
The away side collected the only two cards of the game through Yuto Tsunashima and Tuypens before Modibo Fofana was introduced late on. Genk also made late switches, bringing on Jarne Steuckers and Mujaid Sadick at 89', but the final score never moved. In the match stats, Genk finished with 11 corners to Antwerp's 3, though that pressure still was not enough to change the result.
