Arokodare on target as Genk complete stunning two-goal comeback to seal 3-2 win against Club Brugge

Nigeria and Genk striker, Tolu Emmanuel Arokodare, was on target as his side’s inspired second-half performance helped them overturn a two-goal deficit against Raphael Onyedika’s Club Brugge, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Blauw-Wit drew their League opening game against Standard Liege before losing the following game to OH Leuven and were in dire need of a positive turn as they headed into the game against KRC Genk.

In the 60th minute, things were looking promising for Onyedika’s Club Brugge as they were two goals up, and were almost assured of their first win of the season, courtesy of a brace from Danish winger, Andrea Skov Olsen.

A handball in the penalty area by Brandon Mechele gave the home side a chance at redemption as Jarne Steuckers sent his spot kick to the bottom left corner, pulling one back in the 68th minute.

With seven minutes left on the clock, Steuckers was involved again as his cross was met by the Nigerian Arokodare who headed home from close range to pull Genk level, scoring his second of the season.

The winner came in additional time. Slovakian midfielder, Patrik Hrosovsky, put his boots through the ball from outside the Brugge box, sending it into the top right corner of Simon Mignolet’s goal, sending the crowd at Cegeka Arena wild.
