Relebohile Mofokeng continued his impressive start to life in European football after providing an assist in Royale Union Saint-Gilloise’s convincing 4-0 victory over Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

The former Orlando Pirates star was named in the starting line-up as the Belgian outfit secured their second victory in the competition this season, strengthening their position in the league-phase standings.

Mofokeng’s contribution further underlined his growing influence since making the move from South African football to Belgium. The 21-year-old has wasted little time making his presence felt, demonstrating the attacking quality and creativity that made him one of the most exciting prospects in the Betway Premiership.

Union Saint-Gilloise dominated proceedings against their Israeli opponents, producing a commanding performance to secure all three points. Their four-goal victory provided another significant boost to their European campaign as they look to progress to the knockout stages.

For Mofokeng, the assist represents another important milestone in his adaptation to football abroad. Having previously impressed supporters with his performances for Orlando Pirates, the Bafana Bafana international is now proving that he can deliver on a bigger stage.

His ability to create opportunities for teammates, operate in attacking positions and influence matches makes him an important option for Union Saint-Gilloise as they balance domestic and European commitments.

The South African international played 79 minutes before being replaced by Kevin Rodriguez, having helped his side maintain control during an encouraging European outing.

Mofokeng’s progress will be closely followed by South African football supporters, particularly those who watched him develop into one of the country's standout talents at Pirates. His move to Belgium represented a major step in his career, and his latest contribution suggests he is continuing to settle into his new surroundings.

Union Saint-Gilloise currently sit third in the Europa League standings with seven points from three matches, putting themselves in a promising position.

Their next European assignment will see them face Spanish side Celta Vigo, another opportunity for Mofokeng to showcase his talent against quality opposition.

With his confidence growing and contributions arriving in European competition, the young attacker will be determined to maintain his momentum and establish himself as a key player in Belgium.
