Paul Onuachu played the entire duration as KRC Genk got off their League playoff match for the Conference League ticket to a winning start.
Onuachu, this season had scored 19 goals in 30 appearances during the regular campaign.
The forward was one of the stars to look out for in the much anticipated match, but he wasn’t to be the hero against KAA Gent.
Rather, a late goal courtesy 19 year-old Andras Nemeth in the first minute of stoppage time broke the deadlock and eventually proved to be the winner.
Despite the win, Genk are second in the playoff table, but will move to the summit with a win against KV Mechelen.
The sides, the only teams from the group with a win each from their opening games face off on Friday at the Cegeka Arena.
