KRC Genk vs Royal Charleroi Sporting Club

Genk were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Charleroi in the Conference League Play-offs — a result that flattered the visitors, who spent most of the afternoon under siege at the Cegeka Arena. Charleroi broke the deadlock when Etienne Camara converted an Antoine Colassin pass in the 13th minute. Genk pressed hard but found goalkeeper Mohamed Koné in inspired form, and Daan Heymans worsened the hosts' misery by seeing his 23rd-minute penalty rattle the post. Heymans hit the woodwork again with a header in the 57th minute before Genk finally got their reward in the 86th. Zakaria El Ouahdi's cross deflected off Mardochee Nzita and crept into the net — a fortuitous own goal to cap a dominant display of 21 shot attempts and 10 corners. The point keeps Genk top of the Conference League Play-off standings, though they will rue the chances left behind. Charleroi showed real grit, coming away with something after spending most of the afternoon defending.
