Paul Onuachu was once again the hero as he netted a late goal in Genk’s 2-1 away win against Sint-Truiden, in the Belgian Jupiler on Sunday, Completesports.com reports.
Onuachu grabbed a 92nd minute goal to give Genk a 1-0 win at Austrian club Rapid Wien in Thursday’s Europa League group opener.
Against Sint-Truiden, the 27-year-old replaced Luca Oyen in the 61st minute and scored with seven minutes left in the game.

Cyriel Kolawole Dessers made me proud with an assist and the winning goal despite playing only the last eight minutes of the game against Almighty PSV Eindhoven in Phillips Stadium Eindhoven.
That boy Cyriel….ummmmh. We are watching. Anyway has anyone taken note of how African/ African born players are burning the whole of Europe with goals. Shame to CAF n sponsors of AFCON, for constantly failing in using this to expansively glamourize African football. BUT FOR GOOD MANAGEMENT/INFRASTRUCTURE, FOOTBALL IS AFRICAN.
Onuachu is definitely a huge huge goal threat especially within the box. It’s gonna be really difficult for Rohr to drop him from the SE squad.
NAIJA,EAGLE,FANS No bi only you proud of CYRIEL DESSER. INFACT the guy is too much. He makes me remember RONALDO OF BRAZIL. GERNOT ROHR should extend invitation to him. He will definitely improve our striking force with another new dimension
Everybody can not be invited to SE otherwise the pitch won’t be enough to contain them. At most 15 players would be allowed to play in a single match.
Nigerian stars world wide too many giving the coach selection headache. But a plus for healthy competition and soccer development
I don’t want us to lose that guy back to Belgium o.
Thank you @Jacob. I made the same point recently. Let them make good use of the ones on ground. The ones on ground is enough to give us the afcon. Let’s not confuse the coach or give him selection headache..by now we should have gotten our balanced winning team cos best players don’t win you games best team do…not today we will see a new face, tomorrow old face,next tomorrow somebody will score in a league then he will be invited…no consistency atall with the team selection..

I keep on imagining this guy Lookman in Nigerian squad wow! I fear no foe guys! I really love the way Lookman plays his football very direct with a very beautiful progressive dribbling skills. Good shooting ability, nice creative spark, beautiful crosses when needed….
Lookman is going to be a menace in the super eagles colour…. I dont really think that Nigerian international passport could be a stumbling block to his nationality switch this much but what I know is that comes one day his switch along with others will surely bears fruit for super eagles’ harvest.
Super eagles starting line-up like the following go sweet in sweet football pitch.
…………. Okoye……………
Aina …..ekong…..Balogun …. Zaidu
Aribo…………… Ndidi……….Iwobi
Chukwueze…. Osimehn….. Lookman
Meanwhile, Leicester deserves to have won this match if not for Barnes stupidity. Lookman and Ndidi all scored and they were cancelled due to Barnes foolishness by staying in the front of the oposition keeper…
