Samatta shines as Onuachu scores seventh league goal in Genk win

Tanzania captain Mbwana Samatta was impressive as Nigeria's Paul Onuachu scored the match-winning goal for Genk in their 2-1 win over Eupen on Thursday.

The African duo started the encounter at the Luminus Arena and helped the hosts return to winning ways after Sunday's 2-0 loss to Anderlecht.

Onuachu doubled Genk’s lead in the 60th minute with his seventh goal in the Belgian First Division A since his summer arrival from Midtjylland.

Three minutes later, Ivory Coast's Jean Amani pulled a goal back for Eupen but it was not enough to inspire a comeback for the visitors.
