Genk – Waregem (LIVE STREAM)

“We stand against an experienced team,” said Peter Maes for the match. “And we have at present no” guardians “that can reset a team on the field to hold the result. We must be wary of the rapid conversion of someone like Coelho.” If Maes already has a guardian then that Thomas Buffel. And let those are just absent today. Buffalo was in Zagreb just before the break to the side with a muscle injury. He was replaced by Leandro Trossard therewith for the first time was on the kickoff. Front Samatta Karelis came to take.

No surprises in Lokeren Georges Leekens. He clung to the starting line of the previous round. Remarkable was the signature that former youth player Steve De Ridder this week put under a four-year contract. He was released on transfer of Copenhagen.

Twice before half Samatta.

The study lasted round exactly ten minutes. Genk had when using Bailey and Samatta have twice tried keen to continue but a team-mate found it not for purpose. When De Sutter won a header duel Dewaest. Coelho took to reach the ball, and tried outside left Bolbat. It came but deserved. Genk replied with a giant opportunity for Trossard. Bailey kicked left on purpose, Verhulst solved but got there just in time to return the ball to keep the young Genk of his first goal.

The home side came more into the match, but missed the chance Jambor and Skulason (jes). After thirty minutes, the home side claimed a penalty when Coelho ran crashing on Walsh in the box. Van Driessche referee saw no problem with.

Then achttte Samatta came his moment. He was good in wait when Pozuelo put a most conducive to push between defense and goalkeeper. For someone at Lokeren knew it was the 0 -1 into the goal. Bizot held shortly after Maric from an equalizer when he with his back to goal backwards trying to tap into. Less than a minute later, the 0-2 on the board. Ninaj and Verhulst were reluctant to intercept a ball doorgekopte of who else but Pozuelo and Samatta snatched the leather note to double the score from an acute angle. Bizot had once filled the bucket to a powerful free kick Coelho to whip out his purpose. He acquitted himself of his exemplary task. Just before the rest accordingly signal Samatta egg scored so after his third hit. But this time the ball bounced off the far post.

Bailey does one in, Maric miss twice from the penalty spot.

Barely two minutes we were far when Alejandro Pozuelo his third assist of the match in his slippers conjured. He put Leon Bailey masterfully towards the 0 – 3. Three minutes later neither Trossard nor Pozuelo could punish a new miscalculation in Loker Armenian defense.

The ball went straight to the other side and a cross from the left went Ndidi and the Sutter clash. Loker The Armenian striker went to the ground, referee Van Driessche put the ball on the spot. Mijat Maric tried what looked from afar on a Panenka but Bizot saved the penalty kick with his foot.

Only two minutes later Maric was given a second chance. Uronen and Bolbat pulled together, nothing to worry seemed, but again Van Driessche whistled a penalty. Maric sat back behind the ball but this time he stepped awkwardly beside. No goal against Lokeren and Genk so calmly took the ball all the way into hands. One was even gallery play with opportunities for Pozuelo, Samatta, Bailey and again Samatta. It seemed like they liked it enough to Genk with a view to the return game against Zagreb next week.

Bolbat Uronen still took hard and received his second yellow and then a red card. Trossard was still looking for his first of the season after a nice opwippertje about defending Pozuelo. Verhulst was slightly faster. The only notable event for the rest of the game was the debut of youngster Paolo Sabak. The young midfielder was replaced Pozuelo and he did so properly. Goal scorer was not in the final stage. The rehearsal was good, still hope that the performance against Zagreb on Thursday will be as well.
