Another victory, the eighth in a row for Racing Genk! The Limburgers won against Mechelen this Friday evening on the occasion of the 15th day of the Pro League (3-1). The leaders were able to count on their full-backs to make the difference and increase their lead at the top of the championship (40 points out of 45!).
The first goal first came from the right, with Muñoz who slipped with disconcerting ease into the Mechelen defence. After a one-two with El Khannoussthe Colombian crucified Coucke left foot (1-0). It’s already his fifth goal of the season… pretty good for a right-back.
Picked cold, the KV reacts immediately with a heavy strike of sheafwhich finds the skylight of Vandevoordt with his left paw (1-1, 15′).
Facing a playful and well-organized Mechelen team, Genk showed patience and regained the advantage shortly before the hour mark. After the right-back Muñoz is the left side Arteaga who plants his goal on an assist of Paintsil.
Reduced to ten a few minutes later (second yellow for the young El Khannouss), the solid Limburgers did not panic and took the break at the end of the game. Passer on the 2nd base, Paintsil turns into a scorer while Treasure delivers his… 12th assist of the season (3-1, 90+1′).
Who will be able to stop Genk?
