Racing Genk has won two games in succession for the first time this season. After the win at home against KV Mechelen, KV Kortrijk now faced the ax. The Genkies achieved it relatively easily with a three-goal difference. Due to the defeat, Kortrijk remains at the bottom.
Kortrijk – Genk in a nutshell:
Key moment: After 10 minutes in the second half, Tolu is finally able to reach one of the many crosses that Genk kicks. The strong striker heads in tight, Kortrijk no longer appears in the piece. Man of the Match: Bryan Heynen was very strong today. Like a true captain, he took his team by the hand and with a phenomenal assist he put Paintsil on the way to the 0-2. The midfielder was unlucky when a good shot hit the crossbar, otherwise that would have been the crowning achievement of his match. Striking: Genk is the best away team in the Jupiler Pro League this season after Union. The Limburgers already took 14 out of 18 on the road and lost the lion’s share of their points at home.
Powerful first half
KV Kortrijk and KRC Genk both gained confidence with a victory on the previous match day and wanted to continue that trend.
Genk, without El Khannous, took control of the match from the start. Fadera had to score after just 5 minutes, but he didn’t hit the ball well.
For the rest of the first half it was Genk who dominated, but goalkeeper Vandenberghe always stood firm. Heynen, Tolu and Hrosovsky did not get past Kortrijk’s excellent final goal.
It was a very tough match, especially Avenatti flirted with a second yellow card. He unnecessarily pushed an opponent to the ground without the ball nearby. Referee Put let it be.
Perfect second half for Genk
In the second half Genk remained dominant, this time linked to efficiency. Tolu cleverly headed in an excellent cross from Hrosovsky.
The visitors were not satisfied with the 0-1 and pushed on. Heynen put Paintsil in front of goal very cleverly, who wanted to pass to Tolu but got the ball back from a defender. The Ghanaian then doubled the score himself.
Genk continued to dominate, a very strong Heynen aimed a shot at the crossbar. It was only a stay of execution for Kortrijk.
In a chaotic phase, Galarza first kicked Vandenberghe nicely. Zeqiri also aimed the first rebound at the strong-playing goalkeeper, but Munoz hit the target. The whistle was initially blown for offside, but VAR intervened. 0-3, books allowed.
Kortrijk was unable to respond at any time in the second half, and Zeqiri himself hit the crossbar again at the absolute end.
Genk takes 6 out of 6 for the first time this season and is at the top of the standings with 21 points. Kortrijk remains at the bottom and will play an important match at RWDM next week.
Reactions after Kortrijk – Genk:
Wouter Vrancken: “I am very satisfied, you know it can be difficult here. I am very proud of the way the boys fought. Kortrijk was a low block and so we had to work through crosses. Outside of that we were very dominant , without giving away counters. I am very happy with that.” Glen De Boeck: “We lost to a stronger opponent. After the 0-1 there was a moment with a few chances where you could equalize. That doesn’t happen and once the 0-2 falls you know that it will be difficult. We We can learn a lot of lessons from this, we must especially learn to play football better under pressure.” second half, minute 98. End: Genk overpowers Kortrijk in a strong second half. Put exhales his last 3 breaths, the match is over. Genk was as dominant in the second half as in the first and added efficiency. 0-3 is a logical final result. Tolu, Paintsil and Munoz scored the goals, Heynen and Zeqiri hit the frame. Kortrijk could never really be dangerous. .
