Paul Onuachu saved Genk in a 1-1 tie with Anderlecht in the Belgian Serie A play-offs on Wednesday.

Anouar Ait El Hadj took Anderlecht into the Luminus Arena with the 33rd minute opener, but Onuachu tied with Junya Ito in the 67th minute to ensure that Blue-White took the lead at home.

Next is Onuachu and his Genk teammates, heading to Brussels, where they will fight against the men of Vincent Kompany, who ranked third in the reverse game on Saturday.

Onuachu’s shooting ability made him a target for several European clubs before the summer transfer window.

At the same time, former Belgian coach Rene Vandereycken supported the Nigeria international to perfectly adapt to the Bundesliga or Premier League.

“Vanuachu is a very special striker, you can hardly compare him with anyone.” Van der Ricken Say.

“Although it is 2.01 meters, Onuachu is technically strong and fast, and he often succeeds in making the right decisions.

“He will also feel that after scoring 33 times in a season, it is time to take a higher step.

“As long as he chooses the right club and coach, he must be able to maintain perfect form in the Bundesliga and even the Premier League, although we always have to wait and see how the body reacts to more demanding matches.”
