Mandel United beat Eendracht Aalst in the absolute final phase

The supporters of Aalst had come en masse to Izegem to sing and shout their team to the first national. A big contrast with Mandel United, where there is a lot of uncertainty about the future.

Halfway through the first half, Jeremy Kumbi Mandel headed ahead. The for the home team is visibly pleased with the players. The Onions of Aalst did not give up and looked for an answer. The defense of Mandel United could not get the ball away moments later and they took advantage of that at Aalst. Mbaye remained calm, cut and fired hard. Barely five minutes after the opening goal, the score was level again: 1-1.

In the second half it was Aalst that could create the most danger, but when the match bled to death because both teams did not want to concede a goal, Mandel conjured something out of his hat. Jalloh worked a nice cross into the far post. An explosion of joy as a result.

The return leg will take place in Aalst on Thursday.
