KRC Genk shot-stopper Maarten Vandevoordt pipped Ghanaian forward Joseph Paintsil to win the Man of the Match award following their 1-0 win over Anderlecht in the Belgium Cup round of 16 on Wednesday evening.
The attacker scored the game-winning goal for the Blue and Whites after playing important roles in his team's friendly games.
However, Vandevoordt was voted Man of the Match after making crucial saves to keep a deserved clean sheet.
