In a thrilling debut for the Cape Town Sharks (CSL), Lionel Dembele made history on his first appearance for the team. The young French forward scored his first goal for the CSL in a 2-1 victory against the Eastern Province Bulls.

The match was played at Ellis Park Stadium and witnessed a high level of excitement from both teams. Dembele, who joined the CSL last season as a free agent, was eager to make his mark on the game. He started off with a bang, scoring his first goal just before halftime. This early strike set the tone for the rest of the match and gave the Sharks a much-needed boost.

Dembele's performance extended beyond just scoring goals. He also provided assists in several key moments throughout the game. His ability to create chances and find space between defenders earned him praise from coach Kevin O'Sullivan. "Lionel is a bright light for us," said O'Sullivan. "He showed great maturity and understanding of the game."

The victory over the Bulls was significant not only for the CSL but also for Dembele's career. It marked his first professional league appearance and confirmed his status as one of the rising stars in South African football.
