BRUGES, Belgium, July ⁠31 (Reuters) - Union Saint Gilloise came ⁠from behind to win the season-opening Super ‌Cup in Belgium on Friday, beating last year's champions Club Brugge on penalties after a 1-1 ​draw at the Jan ⁠Breydelstadion.

New South African ⁠signing Relebohile Mofokeng struck home the winning kick ⁠as ‌Union edged their hosts 5-4 on post-match penalties.

Nicolo Trosoldi put ⁠Brugge in the lead four minutes ​into the ‌second half as he volleyed home ⁠from an ​acute angle at close range, but the match was taken to spot kicks after ⁠Union's Argentine centre back ​Kevin Mac Allister equalised with 13 minutes to play.

All the penalties in the shootout were ⁠converted except for that of Cheveyo Tsawa, the teenager freshly signed from FC Zurich, whose effort was saved by ​Union keeper Vic Chambaere.

It ⁠was Union’s second success in the Super ​Cup after their success ‌over Club Brugge two years ​ago.
