Burkina Faso goalkeeper Hervé Koffi has made an impressive start to life at Union Saint-Gilloise, keeping three consecutive clean sheets in his opening three appearances in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.
The Burkinabe international was again instrumental as Union Saint-Gilloise beat Saint-Trond 3-0 on Wednesday, helping the Brussels side maintain their strong start to the 2026-27 campaign.
Koffi has yet to concede a goal since joining the club and has quickly established himself as Union Saint-Gilloise’s first-choice goalkeeper.
His latest clean sheet came in a comfortable victory over Saint-Trond, following similarly assured performances in the club’s opening two league matches.
The 29-year-old began his campaign with four saves in a goalless draw against Zulte Waregem. He followed that performance with two saves during the 3-0 victory over Anderlecht before producing another solid display against Saint-Trond.
That run means Koffi has now kept a clean sheet in each of his three league appearances.
His arrival has provided early stability at the back for Union Saint-Gilloise, with the Burkina Faso goalkeeper’s composure and reliability helping to strengthen the Brussels club’s defence.
Koffi joined Union Saint-Gilloise on August 1 from French club RC Lens for the 2026-27 season. His move was completed on a deal that includes an option to buy.
Despite being a new arrival, the Burkina Faso international quickly took over as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper and has wasted little time making an impact.
His three clean sheets have also contributed to Union Saint-Gilloise recording the best defensive start in the league.
The Belgian side’s 3-0 victory over Saint-Trond extended their winning run in the Jupiler Pro League and strengthened their position near the top of the standings.
Union Saint-Gilloise are currently second with 10 points, two behind leaders Sporting Charleroi, who have 12 points.
The result against Saint-Trond therefore underlined both the team’s defensive strength and its ambitions for the 2026-27 season.
Koffi’s individual record has been particularly notable. Since returning to the Jupiler Pro League, he has played three matches without conceding a goal.
His clean-sheet sequence currently stands at:
Zulte Waregem – clean sheet
Anderlecht – clean sheet
Saint-Trond – clean sheet
For Union Saint-Gilloise, Koffi’s immediate impact offers encouragement as the club looks to build on its strong opening to the season.
For Burkina Faso, meanwhile, the goalkeeper’s form provides another positive development, with Koffi showing consistency and confidence between the posts at the beginning of his new spell in Belgium.
With three clean sheets from three matches, Koffi has already given Union Saint-Gilloise a dependable presence in goal and played a central role in their unbeaten defensive start.
