Harambee Stars midfielder Johanna Omolo played the entire match as Cercle Brugge opened their league campaign on a sour note after losing by a solitary goal to Standard Liege in a Belgian top-tier match at the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium in Liege on Saturday evening.
After a goalless first half, 23-year old Belgian midfielder Samuel Bastien scored the all-important goal 10 minutes after the restart.
Omolo recently extended his contract at the club for a further year and is considered as one of the important squad players for the team that is on a rebuilding path.
Up next for Brugge is a home game against Antwerp next Sunday.
