Racing Genk won 0-2 on the pitch at Cukaricki Belgrade on Thursday evening for their second Conference League group stage match. The Limburgers notably took advantage of an ultra-dominated first period to make the difference with their evening opponent and sign a first victory in this group F.
In this meeting, the Limburgers quickly secured a comfortable lead. Bonsu Baah (2nd) and Three Arokodare (8th) announced the suit before Joseph Paintsil does not offer the 0-1 goal on a silver platter to Bryan Heynen (10th). The Genko captain then won a penalty which Paintsil was responsible for transforming to make it 0-2 (21st).
And Hendrik Van Crombrugge had to pull out all the stops in the 24th minute, most of the chances in the first period were Limburg’s, notably with Baah and Arokodare on the manoeuvres. The half-time statistics are revealing: 73% ball possession and 9 shots on goal.
In the second period, the debates were balanced in particular thanks to a triple change made by the Serbs upon returning from the locker room. They had a strong moment before the hour mark but did not manage to equalize, notably coming up once morest Van Crombrugge (54th and 55th). The Belgian goalkeeper intervened one last time in the 72nd minute to reassure his team, who were a little less spirited in the second period.
Author of a 2-2 draw once morest Fiorentina on the first day, Genk (4 pts) now shares the lead of group F with Ferencvaros. The Hungarians, Limburg’s next opponents, won 2-2 once morest Fiorentina (2 pts) while leading 0-2. Cukaricki is last in the group with 0 points.
