Samatta goal drought continues in Genk loss to Standard Liege

Mbwana Samatta continued with his barren goal run in the Belgian First Division A as Genk lost 1-0 away at Standard Liege on Saturday.

Despite being Genk’s leading scorer with five goals, Samatta last found the back of the net in the 1-0 home win over Anderlecht on August 23.

Interestingly, his five goals are from three games, including a hat-trick in the 4-0 win at Waasland-Beveren.

While there were expectations on Samatta to rediscover his scoring form, it was instead 2017 Africa Cup of Nations winning midfielder Collins Fai of Cameroon who made an impact with an assist for Samuel Bastien to grab the deciding goal for Standard Liege six minutes from time.
