Match Report
Racing Genk dominated from first whistle to last at Cegeka Arena but were left frustrated as Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Taishi Brandon Nozawa produced a stunning display to ensure the spoils were shared in a goalless stalemate.
With no goals, red cards, or penalties to speak of, the story was all about the chances Genk created and couldn't convert. The hosts commanded 62% of possession, unleashed 34 shots, and generated an xG of 2.67 — yet Nozawa, earning a remarkable 9.5 match rating, repeatedly stood firm to preserve a clean sheet for the visitors.
The point leaves Genk level at the top of the Conference League play-off group with one round remaining, keeping their European hopes alive but hanging by a thread. For Antwerp, already out of contention after losing three straight, the result changes nothing.
