Theo Bongonda’s brace leads Onuachu’s Genk past St. Truiden

Theo Bongonda was Genk’s hero having scored twice in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat of St. Truiden in a Belgian First Division A fixture.

Bongonda, 24, found the net on two occasions as unbeaten John van den Brom’s men cruised to their sixth win of the 2020-21 topflight campaign.

With just four minutes into the game, they took the lead through the winger of Congolese descent who fired an angled shot past goalkeeper Daniel Schmidt following a corner kick from Japanese forward Junya Ito.
