In the second half, Vleminckx opened the score. Iakovenko had an excellent chance to equalise, but he missed. Rossini doubled KV Mechelen's lead on a counter attack. From then on, Anderlecht tried to turn the tide with De Sutter having a few decent chances. Though the ball only went in the net 15 minutes before the end.
