Franken, who was not on the field due to the suspension, was caught off guard by spinning so hard. Onuacho and El Khanos didn’t get off the ground, but at least one of the substitutes soon showed it was a good decision. Sur stepped forward from his side and shot 1-0 across the bar. Talk about entering.
Anyone who thought Zulte Waregem would give up is disappointed. In a flooded stadium, the visitors showed they had gained confidence from their latest victory. Essefi put his foot next to Genk but, apart from a header from Janu, couldn’t create much danger before the break.
Zulte Waregem continued to press and created several chances after the break. Jano headed wide and got Ciranni’s cross slightly unhappily into the thigh. The powerful KRC Genk needed a new race of Sor to wake up. Trésor was allowed to dock completely freely at close range, but fire at a distance of meters.
That’s how it stayed sensational at Cegeka Arena, as rain fell from the sky in buckets. Brüls sent a batch of Fadera Mak into the arms of Vandevoordt. Then Vadera himself saw the place ball fly away from the intersection. With a minute left, Vandevoordt hit Big Chance just off the nose to catch Offor.
Genk didn’t convince, but they extend their lead over the first chasing association to ten points for the time being. Zulte Waregem can draw confidence from a solid performance, even if he remains stuck in the relegation zone.
