Paul Onuachu has explained the reasoning behind his decision to take the second penalty awarded to Racing Genk during their 3-0 rout of RFC Seraing in a Belgian First Division A match at Cegeka Arena on Sunday night.

The Nigeria international fluffed a golden chance to give Genk the lead when he uncharacteristically missed from the spot in the 33rd minute.

Prior to last night's fixture, Onuachu had not missed a spot kick, scoring eleven penalties against six different teams namely Royal Antwerp (2), Royale Union Saint Gilloise, RSC Charleroi, KV Oostende (3), KAS Eupen (3) and Beerschot.

"Of course I wasn't happy that I shot the ball wide. But the day will come when you miss and that was today," Onuachu was quoted as saying by Voetbalkrant.
