The Buffalos led 1-0 after Alessio Castro-Montes opened the scoring in the 24th minute. Theo Bongonda beat Sinan Bolat with a header in the 40th minute to tie the score back.
The score did not change in the second half, until Patrik Hrosovsky, with a long shot, made the Ghent nets tremble in the 84th minute: 1-2, final score. Vadis Odjidja was on the verge of equalizing in added time, but his shot hit the crossbar.
Genk, 16 points, moved to 8th place. The situation of La Gantoise is more worrying. The Buffalos, who conceded their 7th defeat of the season – the 3rd at home – are in 13th place with 9 points out of 30.
