Dessers reacts after scoring on Genk debut against Zulte Waregem

Cyriel Dessers has expressed his delight after scoring on his debut for Genk to help his new club open the 2020-21 Belgian First Division A campaign with a victory.

The 25-year-old Nigerian striker combined well with his compatriot Paul Onuachu to inspire Genk to a 2-1 win over Zulte Waregem on Sunday.

He was afforded a starting role in the encounter after his eye-catching performances for the Blue-White during their pre-season games and made a key impact.

Dessers scored the match-winning goal with a well-taken effort from the penalty spot after Onuachu had cancelled out Olivier Deschacht’s opener.
