Genk with one foot in Europe

ISM - International Sport Management

Racing Genk has won the first leg of the play off for a place in next season’s Europa League against Sint-Truiden (2-1). It was Genk that opened the score with a stunning goal from long distance by Marvin Ogunjimi after 21 minutes. Three minutes before the break Sint-Truiden Ibrahim Sidibé (foto) egalised. Racing Genk took the lead again on the hour when a Fabien Camus free-kick was deflected by the Sint-Truiden defender Wilmet’s knee Mignolet without a chance. Sint-Truiden lost the plot a little and Racing Genk had several chances to widen the score. However, good work by Mignolet kept the score at two one. Both teams still have everything to play for in Sunday’s return leg.
