Liverpool Loanee Awoniyi Continues Impressive Start To The Season
Published: September 17, 2017
Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi continued his brilliant start to the season with a goal in Royal Excel Mouscron's 2-1 loss to Zulte-Waregem in the Belgian First Division A on Sunday afternoon.
The lone goal of the first half was scored by the Nigeria U23 international in the 16th minute, he used his strength to evade a defender then made a run into the box and fired past goalkeeper Nicola Leali.
Two minutes into the second half, Aaron Leya Iseka equalized for Zulte-Waregem before providing an assist for the game-winning goal netted by Sandy Walsh on 66 minutes.
Apart from last weekend's clash versus Club Brugge, Awoniyi has either scored or contributed to a goal in all the games in which he has featured for Royal Excel Mouscron so far this season.
Former Nigeria U23 invitee Peter Olayinka, who has also caught the eye this term, put in a full shift for Zulte-Waregem.
With the win, Zulte-Waregem are fourth with 13 points, same points as Mouscron, who have an inferior goal difference.
