Black Stars winger Joseph Paintsil has been named Man of the Match after starring in Genk’s victory over Club Brugge in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League.
The 25-year-old registered his name on the scoresheet on Sunday when Genk beat defending champions Club Brugge 3-1 at the Cegeka Arena.
Club Brugge opened the scoring through Hans Vanaken before Genk restored parity through Daniel Munoz as the first half ended 1-1.
After the break, the home team proved their worth and grabbed their second goal through Mark McKenzie before the in-form Ghana forward sealed the win for the host in the 83rd minute mark.
The comeback win has stretched Genk’s lead on the league table to three points.
The 25-year-old had scored earlier in the game but his effort was ruled for offside after a VAR review.
Paintsil has been the best player for Genk in the Belgian top-tier this season, having scored 15 times and assisted 12 times in 31 appearances this campaign.
