Royale Union SG vs Genk

Royale Union SG extended their sensational home form with a 2-1 victory over Genk at the Stade Joseph Marien on Saturday evening, tightening their grip at the top of the Pro League. Christian Burgess rose highest to power home a header from a corner on 15 minutes, giving the hosts a deserved early lead. Besfort Zeneli doubled the advantage shortly after the break, finishing on 52 minutes after a neat assist from Guilherme Smith. Genk pulled one back through Daan Heymans, who converted from the penalty spot on 68 minutes after Burgess had bundled over Florian Sattlberger in the box. The visitors pushed for an equaliser but never truly threatened, clearly missing suspended midfielder Bryan Heynen in the engine room. The win lifts Union SG to 60 points at the summit, four clear of Club Brugge in second. For Genk, stuck in sixth on 38 points, the gap to the top keeps growing.
