Zulte Waregem size too small for KRC Genk

Genk could immediately open the score after a slightly awarded penalty, discovered by the VAR. Tambedou tapped Nemeth on the edge of sixteen yards. Brian Heynen (9.) converted the penalty. After the transfer of Cyriel Dessers to Cremonese in the Serie A, Trésor was in the lead. After a nice acceleration on the left, he almost doubled the score. Genk saw his strong start rewarded with a second goal. The Colombian Muñoz kicked a perfect cross towards Nemeth, who headed in the 0-2 (26.). The Limburgers seemed to have everything under control, but suddenly Jelle Vossen took care of the connecting goal out of nowhere. Goalkeeper Vandevoordt was able to fend off Dompé’s first shot, but goalgetter Jelle Vossen was able to put the 1-2 in the basket just before half-time via various stations. Less than a minute later, the home team was allowed to store hope again. Outstanding Brian Heynen managed a second of the evening (1-3, 45.). A nice goal in the short corner.

Essevee undergoes law of the strongest

Just after the break, Genk counted out the home team completely. Mbaye Leye’s substitutions during halftime did not have the desired effect: Novatus Miroshi and Ravy Tsouka Dozi ahead of Vossen and Lasse Vigen Christensen. After all, Muñoz headed a corner from Trésor diving in (1-4, 53.). Zulte Waregem, who played fairly well in the first matches of the competition, could no longer get a grip on the game. Many substitutions on both sides, including the contribution of goalkeeper Paul Onuachu by coach Vrancken, took the momentum out of the match. An important victory for Genk, which can therefore nest in the footsteps of leader Antwerp. Zulte Waregem continues to run in the gray middle bracket.
