Ghana and Genk winger Joseph Paintsil has described his outfits game against Anderlecht in the Belgium Cup as the most difficult in the season so far.
Paintsil was unplayable when his side defeated Anderlecht in the Belgium Cup this week.
The red-hot forward's extra-time goal ensured Genk beat Anderlecht to progress to the last eight of the competition.
His 95th-minute strike was enough to send Genk through to the next round of the Belgian Cup. He was also named Man of the Match.
After the game, Paintsil asserted their game against Anderlecht is the most difficult in the season so far.
“It is the most difficult game for us. Playing against Anderlecht in the first and second half with an extra time is really difficult. Anderlecht is a very good side so we should give them the benefit of the doubt because they also created a bit of chances. It was a 50-50 encounter” he said.
Despite his top form, the former Tema Youth star was excluded from the Black Stars squad for the World Cup 2022, where Ghana exited group stage.
Paintsil has been in superb form for Genk this season having scored 8 goals in 16 appearances in all competitions and providing 6 assists in the process.
