Arokodare’s Debut Goal Not Enough as KRC Genk Lose to OH Leuven
KRC Genk’s Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare made his mark in the new season, scoring his first goal in the weekend’s fixture against OH Leuven. Unfortunately, the young striker’s moment of brilliance was not enough to salvage a win for his team, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat on Saturday night.
Arokodare found the net just two minutes after the hour mark, with a brilliant assist from his compatriot Yira Sor. The 23-year-old was on the pitch for the entire 90 minutes, giving it his all in what was a closely contested match.
Sor, who started the game on the bench, replaced by Karetsas Konstantinos at halftime, played a key role in Arokodare’s goal, providing the vital pass that allowed the striker to get on the scoresheet.
In the opposition camp, former Flying Eagles striker Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi, who recently joined OH Leuven from Italy, made his mark, playing 21 minutes of action and giving his team’s fans a glimpse of what they can expect from him this season.
The result means KRC Genk starts their new campaign with a defeat, while OH Leuven earns their first three points of the season. Arokodare and his teammates will be eager to bounce back and put their first victory on the board in the next game.
