Genk vs Sint-Truiden

Genk ground out a crucial 1-0 home victory over third-placed St. Truiden at the Cegeka Arena on Sunday, with in-form defender Zakaria El Ouahdi once again proving the difference. The Moroccan right-back netted the only goal in the 20th minute, continuing a remarkable scoring run after also finding the net in Thursday's Europa League win over Freiburg. St. Truiden dominated possession with nearly 64% of the ball but could only manage a single shot on target all afternoon. Things got tense late on as Ibrahima Bangoura (88') and Tobias Lawal (93') both picked up yellow cards, but Genk held firm to see out the three points. The win moves Genk to 41 points in seventh, keeping their European qualification push alive. St. Truiden stay third on 57 points but missed a chance to close the gap on leaders Union SG.
