However, the first threat was for the home team. A cross from Vandevelde just missed the goal. Mandel noticed that they had to move up a gear, but they also shot wide. The spell was only broken just before half-time: Vanacker cleverly blasted a Desot cross into the goal in one go.
Mandel tried to look for a second goal, but it did not come.
An economical victory, but one that puts Mandel back in the lead. Gullegem, on the other hand, remains in trouble and is now fourteenth.
