Published on by Joel Oliver

South African teen sensation Shandre Campbell scored another stunning goal for his Belgian club as they secured a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

Campbell, who plays for Club Brugge’s second string side Club NXT, earned them a point in a Belgium second division, popularly known as Challenger Pro League, match on Sunday against Standard Liege.

Standard Liege took a 24th minute lead through French midfielder Ryan Merlen but the former SuperSport United star responded in fine fashion after the break.

How did Shandre Campbell score the stunning goal?

Campbell picked the ball just outside the box, before going past one player, after which he curled in a beautiful shot on his left foot that the Liege goalkeeper could not keep out as it flew into the top right corner.

It was the fourth goal in three starts for Campbell at Club NXT where he has settled in well since making the big switch from SuperSport at the end of last season.

He was also on target on October 19, when he scored twice, having marked his debut with another beautiful goal on August 31.

Campbell left SuperSport for Belgium in July to join top-tier side Club Brugge after his impressive showing in the PSL and the club opted to start him in their second-string side as he continues his development.

In his debut top flight campaign for Matsatsantsa, the 18-year-old played 24 matches across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing six assists in the process, attracting interest from European sides before Club Brugge won the race for his signature.
