Mbwana Samatta opened his goal account in Genk’s 3-1 loss to KV Mechelen in a Belgian First Division A game at AFAS Stadion on Saturday.
After cruising to victory against Kortrijk in their opening league game, the Blue and White failed to build on the performance, losing their first away match.
Wouter Vrancken’s Mechelen side started the encounter on the front foot with William Togui opening the scoring in the 18th minute.
Samatta then levelled for his side moments before the half-time break after benefitting from Bryan Heynen’s assist.
After the restart, Gustav Engvall gave the newly promoted club the lead in the 77th minute before Igor De Camargo sealed the victory with 10 minutes left to play.
