Onuachu Scores 14th League Goal, Black Stars Striker Paintsil‘s Goals Drought Continues As Genk Win

Paul Onuachu was on target for Genk who defeated Standard Liege 2-0, in the Belgian Jupiler on Sunday.

It was Onuachu’s 14th goal in 22 league appearances and his 16th in all competitions for Genk so far this season.

Onuachu doubled Genk’s lead in the 53rd minute after failing to score in their last league game which they lost on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old was replaced in the 88th minute by Black Star of Ghana striker John Paintsil who once again failed to find the back of the net.

Paintsil has now failed to score in his last 13 games for both club and country, with his last goal coming in December 2021.

He has just one league goal in 14 league games for Genk this season and has five in all competitions.

He was part of the Ghana squad that crashed out in the group stage of the just concluded AFCON in Cameroon.

Sunday’s win saw Genk occupy eight place – Europa League Play-off spot – on 38 points in the 18-team league table.
