Jupiler league: Onuachu fires Genk to victory

By Sampson Adedeji

Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu is gradually registering his presence in the Belgium Jupiler league in the colour of RKC Genk.

Onuachu moved to Belgium this summer from the Danish side FC Midtjyland and is gradually becoming important to the club, BSN reports

He was the cynosure of all eyes on Sunday night as Genk defeated visiting Royal Mouscron 2-1 in a keenly contested affair.

After a scoreless first stanza, it was Jonah Osabutey who gave the away team the lead in the 49th minute before Onuachu was introduced to replace Iani Hagis in the 61st minute.

The lanky striker brought the host level in the 76th minute before he completed his brace in the 90th minute and secured maximum win for Genk.
