Ugandan ace Miya gets first goal in Belgium soccer league

Miya celebrates his goal last night
Farouk Miya, who has struggled with injury since moving to Standard Liege in Belgium in February, netted his first goal last night in a 4-1 win over Mouscron-Péruwelz.

 The Ugandan striker put his side level, after going behind early in the fourth of six play-off games for mid-table teams in the ongoing Belgium soccer league.

 

Miya became the first Ugandan player to make it to the top Belgium League, when he was handed the number 15 jersey on February 19, 2016 (click here for story). He then made his debut on March 13, a week before lifting his first trophy, the Belgium Cup (click here for story).

 Cranes coach Micho Milutin Sredojević was excited, tweeting, "After months of acclimatisation and fanatic hard work, it finally happens! Farouk Miya scored his first professional goal for Standard. Mashalaah"
