Paul Onuachu fires Brazil warning with brace for Samatta’s Genk

Nigeria international Paul Onuachu has sent a stern warning to Brazil with a brace in Genk’s 2-1 victory over Royal Excel Mouscron on Sunday.

The lanky forward - who replaced Ianis Hagi, got two second-half strikes to neutralise Jonah Osabutey’s first goal for Bernd Hollerbach’s men.

The ex-Midtjylland man has now extended his tally in the Belgian First Division A to four goals in four games as the Smurfs moved to third in the log with 12 points.

Tanzania international Mbwana Samatta was on parade from start to finish, while Stephen Odey made a cameo appearance after coming in for Theo Bongonda.
