Starting for the first time in the colors of his new club Mechelen, Slimani left a strong impression against Antwerp while delivering an assist before his exit in the 68th minute.
Established in a leading attacking role in a two-man attack, Slimani was very dangerous in the first half. He often stalled in order to free himself from marking and send beautiful balls to his teammates who were unable to realize these opportunities in the first half.
The Algerian striker committed a foul in his own area and the referee whistled a penalty against the Algerian international, a penalty missed by Antwerp just before half-time 0-0.
In the second half Slimani was as valuable in the game as in the first, the Algerian striker delivered a marvelous pass to his teammate, but the latter shot at the post.
A few minutes later and on a great counter-attack, Islam Slimani sent a caviar for Kerim Mrebti who opened the scoring in the 57th minute of play.
