Lior Rafalov’s wonderful start to the season continued today (Sunday), as the 36-year-old midfielder put Anderlecht ahead in their Belgian league game against St. Troydan.
The veteran Israeli, who started in Felis Mazo’s lineup, scored the first goal in the away game in the 43rd minute. A great movement of the ball by the Anderlecht players ended with the Israeli, who slid to the ball on the edge of the five-point square and pushed to score the first goal of the game. Even before halftime, the loanee from Wolves, Fabio Silva, was able to double with a precise strike to the net (45+5) and make it 0:2.
As mentioned, this is not the first time Rafalov has been involved in Anderlecht’s goals this season. The game against St. Troyden is the Israeli’s sixth so far in all competitions, and now has two goals and four assists.
