Jupiler Pro LeagueA response to the field. After three defeats in a row in the competition, Racing Genk has won again – firmly in fact. It became 2-6 against Zulte Waregem – horror afternoon for Francky Dury and co.
Van den Brom promised a few substitutions at the Limburgers. The main one was the base for Paintsil – to the detriment of Bongonda. “Not a good decision, because I am a fan of Théo…”, said the Dutchman beforehand.
But Genk also started well without the stylist. There was soon a shot from Ito, but Bossut was still standing. Stay of execution, because ten minutes later the keeper of Essevee was allowed to fish the ball out of his net. On Munoz’s pass, Ito scored well with the outside right.
Zulte Waregem did participate, without really creating great opportunities. Genk did, but Onuachu and co failed to deepen their lead. It was just before half time waiting for a second goal. Thorstvedt did everything right and hit the ball well. Uppercut for Essevee.
And it didn’t stop there. Those who had to queue a little longer at the drinks stand may have missed a few goals. Because after rest it suddenly went very fast. After 54 minutes there was suddenly 0-5 on the scoreboard. After all, Onuachu, Heynen and Lucumi scored in seven minutes. The cameras captured Francky Dury. Painful for the longest serving coach in 1A.
The foot went off the accelerator at Genk and the home team was able to score two more times, via Vossen and bright spot Kutesa. But the last word was for the Limburgers. With his second of the afternoon, Heynen recorded the final score.
In the standings, Genk climbs to a shared sixth place with Eupen and Anderlecht, six points behind leader Club Brugge. Essevee is in fourteenth place with thirteen points.
