Samatta’s Genk triumph over Cercle Brugge
Mbwana Samatta was on parade as Genk clinched a 2-1 victory against Cercle Brugge in Saturday’s Belgian First Division A fixture.
The 26-year-old was afforded his 17th league start and helped his side return to winning ways after losing to Antwerp in a Cup tie on Tuesday.
Junya Ito opened the scoring for Hannes Wolf’s men in the 34th minute of the encounter before Thibo Somers levelled for the hosts.
In the 70th minute, Sander Berge scored the match-winning goal to help the Blue-White secure maximum points at Jan Breydel Stadium.
Samatta featured for the duration of the game but could not add to his seven league goals this season.
