Nigeria’s David Okereke scores in his league debut for Club Brugge in comeback win

David Okereke opened his goal account in Club Brugge’s 3-1 comeback win over Waasland-Beveren in a Belgian First Division A game on Saturday.

The 21-year-old who joined the Blue-Black this month from Italian side Spezia Calcio was handed his first league start and he hit the ground running, scoring a second-half goal at the Freethielstadion.

Adnan Custovic’s Waasland-Beveren side started the encounter brightly when Francesco Forte opened the scoring in the 32nd minute from the penalty spot.

Hans Vanaken then drew the Blue-Black level, converting from the spot just before the half-time break.

After the restart, Okereke gave his side the lead in the 48th minute before Vanaken completed his brace to help Philippe Clement’s men clinch their first win of the season.
