Cyriel Dessers opened his goals account for the new Belgian top-flight which was not enough, as Genk lost 3-2 to champions Club Brugge on Sunday.
Dessers scored in the 30th minute to draw Club Brugge level after Club Brugge took the lead eight minutes earlier.
The Super Eagles striker was then replaced with 12 minutes left in the game.

The defeat leave Genk in the 15th and Club Brugge occupy fourth place in the 18-team league standing after first round of fixtures.
Before heading to Feyenoord on loan last season, Dessers made just three league appearances for Genk without scoring a goal.
And at Feyenoord he scored nine goals in 27 outing in the Dutch Eredivisie last campaign.
Also last season he emerged the first ever top scorer in the maiden Europa Conference League after bagging 10 goals.

This player is a natural goal scorer. It is baffling that Feyenoord did not do everything in their power to keep him around. It is even more shocking that Mr. Peseiro did not cap him officially in our last two Nation’s Cup qualifiers. These our foreign coaches sef, with their Rohr-like kind of method.
THIS SHALL MARK THE BEGINNING OF YOUR GOAL SCORING WEEK-IN, WEEK-OUT THROUGH OUT THIS SEASON.
