South African international footballer, Thembi Kgatlana, scored the winning goal on her first start for SD Eibar on Saturday, 31 October 2020.
Kgatlana was a standout performer and handed her team a crucial away victory as the side secured a 1-0 win over Espanyol in the Spanish Primera Iberdrola.
The 24-year-old joined Eibar from Portuguese outfit, SL Benfica, in July this year and had scored once in all her previous three outings as a substitute.
