KRC Genk on Thursday 28 edged visiting Cork City of Ireland 1-0 in the first leg, fourth round of UEFA Europa League qualifier at Luminus Arena,Belgium.
The win was another step closer to the lucrative group stage action for the Peter Maes side that has proved consistency in the campaign.
The lone goal that gave Genk a slim advantage into the reverse leg away came at the hour mark when Buffel’s split pass was buried by Leon Bailey past Cork keeper McNulty.
Taifa Stars skipper Mbwana Samatta remained a lingering threat in Cork’s danger zone, but on three occasions he failed to see the back of the net.
