Heriberto Jurado Nets First European Goal to Send Cercle Brugge Through in Belgian Cup

The long-awaited strike follows months without competitive action, fueling calls for the winger to see increased minutes.

Overview

  • Jurado scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over KV Kortrijk on October 30, sending Cercle Brugge from the Round of 32 into the Round of 16 of the Belgian Cup.
  • The goal arrived early, around the 12th to 14th minute, finished with a left-footed, crossed shot after a combination on the left side.
  • Since arriving from Necaxa earlier this year, the forward had seen very limited action, with reports noting roughly 11 official minutes last season.
  • The appearance ended a months-long absence from competitive play dating back to February, a stretch that had raised questions about his integration.
  • Coverage in Belgium and Mexico frames the cup winner as a potential turning point, with supporters urging the coaching staff to grant him greater continuity.
