Ghanaian midfielder Lawrence Agyekum showcased his talent in Cercle Brugge’s impressive 5-1 victory over Patro Eisden in the Belgian Pro League relegation playoff first leg. Agyekum, who recently earned his debut for the Ghana Black Stars in a 2026 World Cup qualification match against Chad, opened the scoring in the 8th minute after receiving a pass from Felipe Augusto.
Cercle Brugge dominated the match, with Paris Brunner finding the back of the net twice in the 25th and 46th minute, while Felipe Augusto added another goal in the 58th minute. Thibo Somers sealed the victory with a goal in the 84th minute, with Patro Eisden’s Vancy Romeo Mabanza scoring a late consolation goal.
Having recently signed a 4-year permanent deal with the club, Agyekum has been a key player for Cercle Brugge this season, contributing three goals and two assists in 34 appearances. His fellow Ghanaian midfielder, Francis Abu, played 73 minutes in the match. The emphatic win gives Cercle Brugge a significant advantage as they head into the return fixture.
