Genk records an easy 0-3 victory in the Guldenspoorstadion against KV Kortrijk. Tolu, Paintsil and Munoz scored the goals and saw their team climb over Club Brugge in the rankings. For KV Kortrijk it is time to recharge after last week’s great victory.

KV Kortrijk received Genk at home with a good feeling. That positive mood came about because KVK defeated Club Brugge 1-0 last week in the Guldenspoorstadion. Unfortunately, last weekend’s performance was not a harbinger of a decent start to the match for the home side. It was Racing Genk who immediately managed to take control with some great opportunities for Fadera and Tolu. Red and White continued to lag behind and that also resulted in a remarkable statistic: after half an hour of play, Genk had no less than 72 percent possession of the ball.

Genk’s dominance

KV Kortrijk pushed back very hard and seemed to park a bus in their own half. Genk slipped through the net several times, but they were too impetuous with their chances. However, it always came across an excellent Vandenberghe. KVK, on ​​the other hand, did not create a single opportunity in the first half. Vandevoordt could easily have read a book, but the Genk goalie was disturbed several times by the light that went out twice next to his goal.

The same game pattern at the beginning of the second half. Genk again had the most opportunities and continued to throw crosses towards Vandenberghe’s cage. The only thing missing was a terminal station. Vandevoordt also had to keep his wits about him during a quiet evening. Avenatti escaped on the left and kicked a ball across the corner towards the Genk goal. No problem for Vandevoordt, who was allowed to stretch his arms for the first time in the match. The end station that had been missing for an entire match at Genk was finally found after just under an hour. Hrosovsky sent a high ball and managed to find Tolu. The Nigerian climbed high and headed Genk into the lead, 0-1. Earned.

Good Genk

The goal did provide a wake-up call for KV Kortrijk. Davies was sent into the alley, but Vandevoordt parried well. The goalkeeper had put aside his reading material from the first half. Kadri also tested whether Vandevoordt was on task. He was again, but it showed that KVK was increasingly looking for Genk’s goal. Just when De Boeck’s men came into the match, Paintsil gave them a big hangover. First the winger wanted to serve Tolu in the Kortrijk sixteen, but he saw his cross blocked by Silva. Ultimately the ball landed at Paintsil’s feet again and he had no doubts: 0-2. Sad for KVK, but a fair representation of the course of the game. The fact that Genk was the better of the two was emphasized again seven minutes later. Munoz seemed to score from an offside phase, but after a long VAR intervention no offside was signaled, 0-3, which meant booking for De Boeck and co.
