Joseph Paintsil scores for KRC Genk on injury return

In-form Ghanaian international Joseph Paintsil was on target for KRC Genk in the Belgian pro league after returning from injury.

Paintsil went straight into the starting line-up upon his return and had an explosive display through the entire duration as they beat KV Oostende by 3-0 in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League last Saturday.

A 9th minute strike from Daniel Munoz, Mbwana Samatta’s 41st minute goal and Joseph Paintsil’s 73rd minute goal was enough for the team to secure victory over Oostende.
