Published on: 05 November 2021

Ghana striker Joseph Paintsil was on target for Genk in their 2-2 draw against West Ham in the Europa League on Thursday evening. 

The 23-year-old lasted for 94 minutes as he helped his side seal a point at Cegeka Arena.

Genk opened the scoring through Joseph Paintsil's strike in the 4th minute of the game.

But Benrahma fired in from Vladimir Coufal's smart pull-back to level after the break and then added a delightful individual effort eight minutes from time to seemingly wrap up a win.

But Soucek inadvertently turned a cross into his own net with three minutes left.

West Ham have 10 points from four games - six clear of Genk with two games left - and look set to go through as Group H winners.

Paintsil has made 10 appearances across all competitions for Genk, scored three goals, and provided two assists.
