Jonathan Afolabi scores first goal for KV Kortrijk

None

The former Bohemians forward was on the scoresheet for the first time the Belgian Pro League. 

The striker scored his first goal for KV Kortrijk in a 3-3 draw at 3rd place Club Brugge last night.

The 23-year-old signed for Kortrijk for an undisclosed fee from the FAI Cup runners up in December after scoring 19 goals in 37 appearances. 

On his first start for the club, Afolabi scored to make the game 1-11 in the 53rd minute of the Belgian Pro League clash.

Afolabi’s new side took the lead shortly after but found themselves 3-2 down and looked set for another defeat. 

However, a late 97th minute equaliser by Dijbi Seck saw Kortrijk take a point on the road. 

Afolabi’s side are bottom of the league, three points off Oud-Heverlee Leuven. 

The forward is not the only Irishman plying his trade in Belgium with Tayo Adaramola signing for RWD Molenbeek on loan last week.
