Super Eagles striker Rafiu Durosinmi
KRC Genk coach Jess Thorup has praised Super Eagles striker Rafiu Durosinmi after the Nigerian marked his competitive debut with a goal in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Zulte Waregem, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
“Ito’s left-footed cross was also top-notch. But there you could see the qualities on which Durosinmi was scouted and signed,” Thorup said, according to Voetbalnieuws.
Durosinmi opened the scoring in the 39th minute of Genk’s opening game of the 2026/27 Belgian Pro League season, rising to head in Junya Ito’s cross and give his side the lead.
However, Genk were unable to hold on as Marley Aké equalised in the 82nd minute before Serxho Ujka completed Zulte Waregem’s comeback four minutes later.
