KRC Genk manager, Wouter Vracken has reacted to Christopher Baah Bonsu’s red card after sharing the spoils with Westerlo in the Belgium Pro League.

The host were reduced to ten men in the first half when the 28-year-old Ghanaian teenager picked up a second yellow card in the game.

The sending off was his second of the season after he was sent off against Anderlecht in early September, where both teams share the spoils.

After the game, the Genk manager described the red card to Ghanaian teen sensation, as a strict as his side failed to snatch all points.

"We played a very good first half. Our opponent made a low block. There were many moments when we could get more out of an attack. The red card was too strict a decision by the referee that turned the match. In the second We took our moments in half and the boys did that very well. Apart from the two goals we conceded, we hardly gave away any space. We get a new setback, while we deserved more," said Vracken after the game.

Colombia defender Daniel Munoz got the opening goal of the match when he put Genk in front in the 10th minute but the visitors responded quickly to level pegging after Belgium international Lucas Stassin had found the back of the net nine minutes later.

Five minutes into the second half, Paintsil connected a pass from Kayembe to increase the advantage for Genk.

Stassin scored again in the 60th minute to reduce the deficit before substitute Tuur Rommens got the equalising goal for Westerlo with one minute remaining to the end of the match.
