Percy Tau continues to endure himself to the Club Brugge supporters after he came off the bench and found the back of the net in the 2-0 win over KV Oostende on Saturday.

Tau started the last two games but had to settle for a spot on the bench on Saturday afternoon. Although, the Bafana Bafana forward was brought on just before the hour mark, before he sealed the win for Brugge with a neat finish in the 82nd minute.

In the second division, Kurt Abrahams bagged his second goal in as many games to guide Westerlo to a 1-0 win over OH Leuven on Friday evening.

Bongani Zungu came off the bench and played the final 10 minutes as Amiens suffered a 2-1 defeat to Nice in their Ligue 1 opener on Saturday.
