Mouhamed Belkheir continued his brilliant run of form with a stunning long-range goal on Sunday, helping La Louvière secure a vital 2-1 win over Francs Borains in the Belgian Challenger Pro League.
The Algerian striker, who is enjoying the most prolific season of his career, unleashed a ferocious shot from nearly 25 metres that left the opposing goalkeeper with no chance.
The goal not only electrified the crowd but also played a crucial role in maintaining La Louvière’s promotion push, as the club now sits just one point behind the league leaders in third place.
Belkheir’s campaign has been nothing short of a revival. The 26-year-old has netted 13 goals and provided 3 assists in 25 appearances this season, cementing his place as an undisputed starter in a side with top-flight ambitions.
After enduring a recent setback with a three-match suspension following a red card, the forward has responded emphatically with yet another standout performance.
His latest goal was a showcase of both power and precision. Picking up the ball in a central area, Belkheir took a touch before driving a rocket of a shot beyond the outstretched arms of the Francs Borains goalkeeper.
The strike, met with applause from supporters and teammates alike, underlined his importance to the team’s attacking play.
La Louvière, fighting for automatic promotion to the Belgian First Division A, currently occupies the play-off position but remains in striking distance of top spot.
The club’s resurgence this season has been driven in large part by Belkheir’s form, with the striker contributing to nearly half of the team’s goals in the league so far.
A former youth international, Belkheir’s journey has seen him play for several clubs across Europe, but it is in Belgium where he seems to have truly found his rhythm.
His consistency, physical presence, and eye for goal have not only lifted La Louvière into contention but also raised speculation about a potential move to a higher level in the near future.
Despite the intense competition at the top of the table, La Louvière’s recent performances suggest they are serious contenders for promotion.
With Belkheir leading the line, the club appears well-equipped to keep pace in what promises to be a tightly contested run-in.
As the season nears its conclusion, all eyes will be on the Algerian forward to continue delivering the goals that could propel La Louvière back to the Belgian top flight.
If Sunday’s strike is any indication, Mouhamed Belkheir is more than ready for the challenge.
