JONATHAN AFOLABI HAS opened his goalscoring account in Belgium.
The former Bohemians striker scored his first goal for KV Kortrijk in a dramatic 3-3 draw at Club Brugge tonight.
On his first start for the club, Afolabi pulled Kortrijk level at 1-1 in the 53rd minute of the Belgian Pro League clash.
And he did so in style, cutting onto his left just inside the box and firing into the bottom corner:

Kortrijk soon took the lead before the hosts hit back and it looked like it would finish 3-2, but Djibi Seck was the late hero as he rescued a draw — and a crucial point on the road — in the 97th minute.
Afolabi’s side are bottom of the league, three points off Oud-Heverlee Leuven. Club Brugge, in contrast, are third.
