WATCH: Genk thanks top scorer Paul Onuachu for simple win against Westerlo | Croky Cup 2022/2023

After 27 of 27 in the league, Genk have also successfully completed their cup match. Top scorer Paul Onuachu gave his team a head start against Westerlo. This was enough for the tenth consecutive victory in a weak game.

Objective:

14 ‘Onuachu: 0-1

Wouter Vrancken was on guard and did not rotate against the “dangerous” Westerlo. The coach wanted to surf on the 9 consecutive victories in the competition.

That tactic worked. Paul Onuachu – who else? – takes the lead on the ropes before the quarter of an hour after a rebound.

Genk then felt like a midweek stroll and braked. In a slow-paced game, the visitors saw Westerlo force small chances without creating any real danger.

Vrancken’s dissatisfaction off the line didn’t bother his team much. On the 11th on the turf he controlled a second half to advance quickly.

Nene scared the guests off for a while with a sting and a penalty also caused a sensation in the finale, but the Genk continues to transform after a match without too many fireworks.

Wouter Vrancken would have liked to see his team play faster.
