\u2014 Joseph Paintsil (@josephpaintsil_) April 30, 2022<\/p>\n

Genk won emphatically 4-2 at the Cegeka Arena to start their UEFA Europa Conference League qualification on a high note.<\/p>\n

Colombian international defender Daniel Munoz opened the scoring in the 31st minute after being set up by Japanese forward Junya Ito.<\/p>\n

Mechelen equalized on the hour mark thanks to a goal from midfielder Geoffrey Hairemans.<\/p>\n

Paintsil set up DR Congo forward Theo Bongonda, who gave Genk the lead again in the 80th minute of the game.<\/p>\n

Four minutes later, defender Rob Schoofs scored the equalizer for the visitors.<\/p>\n

After three minutes, Bongonda scored again, and Paintsil added the icing on the cake in stoppage time to ensure Genk took all three points.<\/p>\n

This season, the 24-year-old Black Stars forward has three goals and two assists in 24 appearances for Genk in the Belgian League.<\/p>\n
