The Bafana Bafana youngster came off the bench on the hour mark and scored his first league goal for the club just four minutes later to put his side 3-1 up. The goal follows on from his penalty shoot out winner from the week before when The Unionists lifted the Belgian Super Cup.
The Bafana Bafana international has enjoyed a fairytale start to his European career after securing his first piece of silverware with the Belgian outfit. The former Orlando Pirates sensation proved to be the hero, converting the decisive spot-kick to secure the Super Cup against Club Brugge.
The Bafana Bafana midfielder was as cold as ice when faced with the decisive penalty at the Jan Breydel Stadium in Bruges, Belgium. With the penalty scores locked on 4-4 'President yama2k' stepped up to take the fifth and final kick for his team and smashed it into the top corner to spark scenes of wild celebrations for Les Unionistes.
South Africa's head coach has offered his assessment of the 21-year-old's imminent move to the Belgian Pro League. The Orlando Pirates sensation is on the verge of a lucrative switch to Royale-Union St Gilloise following a stellar domestic season and an eye-catching World Cup campaign.
In a statement released online the Soweto club confirmed all the fevered speculation was correct and the 21-year-old was getting his dream move to Europe. They also revealed that the deal had already been concluded before Mofokeng left for the World Cup but was kept quiet to allow the youngster to focus on the tournament.
