Belgian Pro League
Standard Liege 1-1 Genk
KRC Genk struck late in the second half to earn themselves a point at Standard Liege in their Belgian Pro League opener.
Liege did not make any big signings ahead of the new campaign, although they did bid farewell to Zinho Vanheusden who joined Serie A champions Inter Milan.
Genk, meanwhile, handed a start to new signing Mujaid Sadick in the defence while fellow new additions Simen Juklerod and Carel Eiting started on the bench.
The visitors enjoyed most of the possession in the first half and looked livelier going forward, with Paul Onuacho passing up two good chances in the opening 20 minutes.
Leige had to wait until the final five minutes for an opening as Cimirot looked to pick out Jackson Muleka, but Genk managed to clear with the Congolese striker lurking on goal.
The hosts did get their reward in the second half though, with Konstantinos Laifis getting his first goal of the season after being set up by Hugo Siquet.
When it seemed as if the hosts were going to walk away with the spoils, Genk popped up with the equaliser in the second minute of time added on thanks to Theo Bongonda's first goal of the campaign.
