Top talent Mike Penders was again in goal for Racing Genk against Club Brugge. He did concede two goals that caused discussion.
For the third time in a row, Mike Penders (19) was in goal for Racing Genk. Whether he will become the first goalkeeper of the league leader for the rest of the season will have to be seen against KV Mechelen on Saturday.
Penders again played a good match against Club Brugge. Five minutes after Tolu’s opening goal, Genk did swallow the equalizer from a corner from Ordonez. But Penders felt that he was being hindered by De Cuyper.
“The ball came to me and I was blocked by someone, which caused me to fall. I had nowhere to go, so for me it is a mistake.” The VAR and referee Visser looked at the phase, but saw no violation by De Cuyper.
-Penders still fully believes in qualifying
In the second half, Genk took a questionable penalty, meaning Racing Genk will start the second leg with a small deficit. Penders sees everything going well. “The supporters always give us an extra boost.”
“We are still undefeated at home and want to keep it that way. I still estimate our chances of qualifying at 100%. We are confident that we will win at home and reach the final.
