Ghana winger Joseph Paintsil scored and provided an assist for KRC Genk as they beat Serbian opposition Čukarički 2-0 in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
The 25-year-old lasted for 80 minutes at Gradski Stadion Dubocica in his first European game of the season.
Fears of a sixth successive European defeat manifested quickly for Čukarički within 20 minutes, when Bryan Heynen first tapped a well-weaved assist by Joseph Paintsil into the back of the net with ease in the 10th minute.
The goal scorer was brought down in the penalty area, forcing referee Adam Ladeback to consult VAR.
Following a lengthy review, Joseph Paintsil stepped up to convert the spot-kick into the bottom corner to make it 2-0 10 minutes later.
GOAL! @josephpaintsil_ scores for Genk.
