Ghana defender, Daniel Opare was stretched off on his competitive debut for new club Zulte Waregem in the Belgian Jupiler League Sunday.
The former Arusburg right-back joined the side on a two-year deal as a free agent after leaving fellow Belgian club Royal Antwerp at the end of the 2019/20 season.
Starting the 2020/21 season at home to KRC Genk, Opare was handed a starting berth against KRC Genk but was forced off on the 70th minute and got replaced by Jean-Luc Dompe.
Olivier Deschacht broke the deadlock for Zulte Waregem on the 41st minute.
Three minutes on, Genk found the equalizer from the boot of Paul Onuachu to throw the game open.
Zulte Waregem’s quest to hold on to a home point was dashed when Cyriel Dessers slotted home a 79th-minute penalty. The game ended 2-1.
Fellow Ghanaian Joseph Paintsil warmed the bench for Genk in the season opener at the Regenboogstadion.
