Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu came from the bench to score a crucial goal for Racing Genk as they came from behind to register a 2-1 win against Zulte-Waregem at the  Regenboogstadion (Waregem) on the opening day of the Belgian First Division A season on Sunday afternoon, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

Trailing 1-0 through an Olivier Deschacht goal scored after 40 minutes, Onuachu, a 57th minute sub, brought the visitors back on level terms when he produced a delicate left-footed chip over the goalkeeper with 17 minutes left on the clock.

And it was the Belgian-Nigerian striker, who was recently in the news for all the wrong reasons, that scored what proved to be the winning goal, converting a spot kick ten minutes from time.

The Super Eagles hopeful then had a chance to double his tally but fluffed his lines.

Young Nigeria-eligible center back Shawn Adewoye and ex-Mountain of Fire striker Stephen Odey were not in Genk's matchday 19 vs Zulte-Waregem.
