TANZANIA international and former TP Mazembe player Mbwana Ally Samatta played only 13 minutes as Genk bowed 2-1 to hosts Standard Liege in Belgium Pro League match on Saturday at Stade Maurice Dufrasane. Genk had taken the lead through Nikos Karelis in 42nd minute but Standard made a comeback with goals from Ivan Santini
on 48th minute and Jean-Luc Dompe 69th header giving the host a win.
Samatta, who scored his first goal for Genk last week, came in as a substitute on 77th minute replacing Derick Tshimanga, a game they lost.
Samatta, the first player from East Africa to be crowned the best CAF African Player of the Year based on the continent was a key figure as TP Mazembe won 2015 CAF Champions League crown scoring seven goals in the process and finished as the competition’s top scorer earning a move to Belgium’s side Genk.
Genk are position five on Belgium Pro League table with 45 points, sixteen behind league leaders Club Brugge.
