Loading...Persianfootball.com – LIEGE, Iranian striking ace finally opened his account in Belgium’s Jupiler league this season, scoring the 1-0 in Standard Liege’s 2-2 draw in his late league season debut on Thursday.
Standard’s coach had decided to rest many regular starters against Waasland-Beveren following a phase of many, mostly disappointing matches.
Ghoochannejhad, who had exclusively played in UEFA Europa League and Belgian Cup so far, but recently also found himself sidelined in the international matches, so got his first appearance in the domestic league, even slipping into the starting lineup.
The goalgetter had an immediate impact when he got rid of his marker inside the area and to the end of a cross before controlling the ball and slotting home under pressure from close range.
Also apart from his goal, Ghoochannejhad showed an inspired display and his substitution shortly before the hourmark, when the score was tied 1-1, came as a surprise.
Standard remain on top of the standings a point clear of KRC Genk.They will next will face Gent on Sunday before hosting Red Bull Salzburg in a do-or-die game in Europa League on Thursday.
