The 26-year-old saved a point for the Blue and Whites in Friday’s league clash
Percy Tau made sure Anderlecht got something out of their Jupiler League game with Oostende on Friday, scoring a draw with the match that ended 2-2.
The South African striker, on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion, was making his first outing for Purple and White after entering the latter two from the bench.
It was the home team that took the lead with Robbie D’Haese and Senegalese forward Makhtar Gueye (from the penalty spot) doing the scoring honors before Adrien Trebel halved the deficit in the 35th minute.
With the match 2-1 heading into the break, there were hopes that Anderlecht, under the supervision of former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, would keep their start to the season undefeated and they did so thanks to Tau in the 54th minute.
