Samatta ends his goal drought in Genk’s draw against Royal Antwerp

Mbwana Samatta finally ended his unimpressive form in front of goal when he found the back of the net in Genk’s comeback 2-2 draw with Royal Antwerp in Wednesday's Belgian First Division A game.

The 26-year-old last scored for the Blue and White in their Champions League defeat against Red Bull Salzburg on September 17 and halted the goal drought at Luminus Arena.

The Tanzania international inspired his side’s comeback after Antwerp had raced into the lead through Didier Lamkel Ze and Ivo Rodrigues.

Samatta, who was afforded his 12th league appearance this season, halved the deficit in the 68th minute of the encounter after he was set up by Bryan Heynen.
