Kurt Abrahams of KVC Westerlo

The 21-year-old South African striker Kurt Abrahams scored his fifth goal of the season to help guide Belgian First Division club KVC Westerlo to a 2-0 win over KSV Roeselare.

Kurt Abrahams

The young forward made his 12th start of the season and scored his fifth goal of the season as he continues to impress in Belgium. The result saw Westerlo snap a four-match winless streak to take them fourth on the log after three games in period two of the league.

Lebo Mothiba

The Bafana Bafana star made his seventh start for RSC Strasbourg after making the switch to LOSC Lille at the start of the campaign. Mothiba couldn’t add to his seven league goals, but he played 71 minutes as his side beat Rennes 4-1 to move back up to eighth on the log after 15 games played.

Lebogang Phiri

The 24-year-old midfielder didn’t add to his five Ligue 1 appearances, as he was an unused substitute in Guingamp’s 0-0 draw with Nice. The result was Phiri’s side’s first points in the league in four games as they continue to sit bottom of the Ligue 1 table, with just eight points from their 15 games played.

Thulani Serero

Serero, who recently returned to the Bafana Bafana set-up after a year-long hiatus, started his 13th game of the season, but failed to have an impact as Vitesse drew 1-1 with Emmen. A result which saw the Dutch club drop down to sixth on the table after 14 matches.

Percy Tau

Bafana Bafana’s star striker failed to add to his three goals and four assists for Belian second division side Union Saint-Gilloise in his 13th game as Tau’s side slumped to a 2-0 loss to Tubize. The result leaves Saint-Gilloise fifth on the log after three games in period two of the Belgian second tier.

Siphiwe Tshabalala

After looking like he was finally finding his feet in Turkey, making his second start at Erzurumspor last week, former Chiefs star Shabba was left out of his side’s match day squad. Tshabalala’s side’s struggles continued as they went down 2-1 to Bursaspor, leaving them 14th on the log after 14 matches.

Lars Veldwijk

The big striker has caught the eye of many this season, scoring 13 goals for Dutch second-tier club Sparta Rotterdam.

He, however, couldn’t add to his goal tally as his side suffered a surprise 3-0 loss to bottom-of-the-log Helmond Sport, who snapped their 10-game unbeaten streak that saw them drop to third on the log after 16 games.
