Relebohile Mofokeng stepped up under pressure to score the decisive penalty after coming off the bench with Royal Union Saint-Gilloise trailing 1-0 against Club Brugge.

The 21-year-old’s winning strike sparked emotional celebrations among players and supporters as Union Saint-Gilloise began their campaign on a high note.
Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate Mofokeng’s achievement, while the club also praised the attacker for his calm finish from the spot.
