GENK, Belgium (Interstat) — Genk delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Gent in Belgian First Division A play on Sunday at Cegeka Arena.

Zakaria El Ouahdi opened the scoring just four minutes into the match, setting an early tone. Noah Adedeji doubled the lead in the 48th minute, finishing a play assisted by midfielder Bryan Heynen. Yira Sor sealed the result with a goal in the first minute of second-half stoppage time.

Gent failed to mount a significant threat, managing no goals against the Genk defense. The visitors’ frustration showed late with Junya Itō and Genk’s Heynen receiving yellow cards in the final minutes. The win improves Genk’s league record, while Gent’s recent form continues to struggle.
