Patson Daka: Zambia star writes Champions League history

Patson Daka has become the first Zambian to score in the Uefa Champions League with his strike against KRC Genk.

The forward had gone four games in the competition without a goal, but against the Smurfs, he broke the jinx to put his team in front.

With the first-half looking to be heading for a 0-0 draw, Daka poked home from a rebound from Gaetan Coucke’s save off Dominik Szoboszlai’s shot.
