Former Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng scored four minutes after coming off the bench in his Belgian Jupiler Pro League debut, making it 3-1 for USG vs Westerlo.

Just a week ago, Mofokeng was the star of the show, scoring his side’s final penalty to secure the Belgian Super Cup against champions Club Brugge.

While he was an unused substitute in Union Saint-Gilloise’ UEFA Champions League qualifier first leg against Bodo/Glimt, which ended 3-3, he came again off the bench on his side’s league opener.

Mofokeng was introduced after 60 minutes, with his side leading 2-1 and wasted no time to get onto the scoresheet, making it 3-1 just four minutes later.

Westerlo scored the opener after 13 minutes, but USG equalised via Promise David after 28 minutes, with the game heading tied into the break.

Raul Florucz gave his side the lead after 57 minutes before Mofokeng opened his account in the Jupiler Pro League.

Guilherme Smith in the 81st and Darius Olaru in the 84th added two more strikes to complete the rout.
