My goal was not important at Liverpool - Genk forward Samatta

Genk forward Mbwana Samatta feels his first-half equaliser is not important after they suffered a 2-1 loss to Liverpool in Tuesday's Champions League game.

Samatta drew the visitors level at Anfield after cancelling out Georginio Wijnaldum's opener with his 40th-minute header, off Bryan Heynen's corner-kick.

After the break, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain's effort in the 53rd minute denied the Belgian visitors a chance to pick up their second point in Group E.

The defeat left Genk rooted to the bottom of the group and dashed their hopes of qualifying for the next round with just a single point after four matches but Samatta assured they will end their group campaign on a high with fixtures against RB Salzburg and Napoli coming up next.
