Ghanaian striker Jerry Afriyie continued his sensational run of form on Wednesday night, scoring a crucial goal as RAAL La Louvière staged a remarkable 3–2 comeback victory over second-placed Club Brugge KV in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League to reignite their fight for survival.
The 18-year-old forward played an instrumental role at the Jan Breydelstadion, pulling his side back into contention after a difficult first half.
Club Brugge had raced into a commanding lead through Romeo Vermant in the 23rd minute before Hugo Vetlesen doubled the advantage just six minutes later, leaving the visitors facing an uphill task against one of the league’s strongest sides.
Afriyie sparked the revival in the 61st minute with a composed and clinical finish, reducing the deficit and shifting momentum in RAAL La Louvière’s favour. His goal breathed belief into the visitors and set the tone for a dramatic finale. The Ghana international, who delivered an energetic and influential performance, earned a solid 7.0 rating for his efforts.
The late drama unfolded in spectacular fashion as Sami Lahssaini struck an equaliser deep into stoppage time, before Senegalese striker Papa Moussa Fall completed the turnaround with a decisive winner to seal an unforgettable night for the visitors.
Afriyie’s goal takes his tally to three since joining RAAL La Louvière on loan from Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah, underlining his growing influence and importance to the team. His contributions are proving vital as the club battles to avoid relegation.
The stunning victory has lifted RAAL La Louvière to 13th place on the Belgian Jupiler Pro League table after 21 matches, with renewed confidence that survival is within reach — and with Jerry Afriyie emerging as a driving force in their charge to beat the drop.
