After the cup match against STVV, the goalkeeper made his third appearance of the season in the Jupiler Pro League.
Mike Penders continues the tenures. Under the crossbar against STVV in the Croky Cup, he made his third appearance of the season in the Jupiler Pro League on Saturday for the OHL reception. And he did not disappoint with some decisive saves.
Genk held on to zero and recorded a difficult victory (2-0) after quickly being reduced to ten men. Penders is proud of his team’s performance: “We showed the right mentality today. At the start we had to play with a man less, which meant we were challenged at times. But I “I’m happy that I was able to help the team with some good saves,” the goalkeeper told Genk’s official website.
From the sixth minute of the match, Genk found themselves down to ten: “At half-time the coach said we had to keep believing and that’s what we did. We struck at the right moments “There is certainly a penalty, but you don’t get a penalty if you don’t attack.”
-Genk will have to show a different face in the cup semi-final first leg which already awaits them in a few days: “We remain calm, next Wednesday we will travel to Bruges and we want to start the match with the same conviction.”
Racing will indeed have a lot to play for in the cup against Bruges, before making two trips in a row to Mechelen then to Westerlo.
