Paul Onuachu on Wednesday night bagged a brace as Genk were defeated 4-2 by Royal Antwerp in the Jupiler League.
It’s another game, another goal for the Super Eagles striker whose form at the moment is as red-hot as it can be.
Compatriot and former Chelsea man – Ike Ugbo started from the bench but was brought on in the 72 minute as substitute for De Smurfen.
The 27-year-old Nigerian fired Genk ahead early into the game at the Bosuilstadion.
Before De Laet, Verstraete, Miyoshi and the league top scorer, Michael Frey all grabbed a goal to sink Genk.
Paul Onuachu then doubled his tally of the game in 80th minute but wasn’t enough as the damage has been done already before Royal Antwerp were reduced to 10 men after De Laet received a red card just 6 minutes to stoppage time.
Genk and Royal Antwerp are leveled on point but the formal drops to 5th position while the later maintain 3rd spot.
Genk will be looking to face RFC Seraing next in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday.
