The former Orlando Pirates star entered the match and wasted little time making an impact. In the 64th minute, Mofokeng finished confidently with his left foot to make the score 3-1 in favour of Union Saint-Gilloise.
Instant Impact
Mofokeng’s goal further extended the home side’s advantage and underlined his ability to influence games immediately after being introduced. The strike represented his first league goal in Belgian football following his high-profile move from Orlando Pirates earlier this summer.
The 21-year-old had already made a strong early impression at the club, having scored the winning penalty in the Belgian Super Cup shoot-out against Club Brugge on his official debut.
Flying the Flag
Mofokeng’s rapid adaptation continues to generate excitement among South African football supporters. After starring in the domestic game and featuring for Bafana Bafana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the attacking midfielder is now establishing himself in one of Europe’s competitive leagues.
Union Saint-Gilloise’s victory provided the perfect platform for the young South African to open his league account, reinforcing the positive start to his European career.
