Former Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng made an impact for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise after helping the Belgian club secure a convincing 3-0 victory over KFC Nijlen in the Belgian Cup.

The South African attacker came off the bench in the 64th minute, with both teams still searching for the opening goal. His introduction brought fresh energy to Union Saint-Gilloise's attack, and he quickly made his presence felt against the opposition's defence.

Mofokeng provided an excellent assist for Besfort Zeneli's goal, helping his team break the deadlock and take control of the contest. His contribution was an important moment in a match that had remained goalless until his arrival.

Union Saint-Gilloise eventually secured a comfortable 3-0 win, booking their place in the last 16 of the Belgian Cup. The result represents another positive step for the club as it continues its campaign in domestic competitions.

For Mofokeng, the performance offers an encouraging sign as he continues to establish himself in European football. Known for his creativity, quick feet and ability to take on defenders, the Bafana Bafana attacker has the qualities needed to make a difference in the final third.

His ability to influence a match after coming on as a substitute is particularly encouraging. Players who can change the pace of a game and create scoring opportunities are valuable to any team, especially when opponents are beginning to tire.

Mofokeng became a well-known name among South African football supporters during his time with Orlando Pirates. His performances for the Soweto giants attracted attention because of his attacking intelligence, confidence on the ball and ability to create chances for his teammates.

His development remains an important talking point for Bafana Bafana supporters, who will be hoping to see him continue improving as he gains experience in European football.

The assist against KFC Nijlen also gives him an opportunity to build momentum ahead of Union Saint-Gilloise's next assignment. The Belgian side are scheduled to face Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, although Mofokeng's involvement in that match will depend on the team's selection.

European competitions present a different level of challenge, and consistent performances could help the young attacker earn more opportunities to showcase his talent.

For now, Union Saint-Gilloise can celebrate a convincing cup victory, while Mofokeng will be pleased to have contributed to the team's progress.

South African supporters will be watching closely to see whether the former Pirates star can carry this form into the club's upcoming European fixture and continue making a positive impression abroad.
