Good to be back on the score sheet- Joseph Paintsil says after ending mini goal drought [VIDEO]

Black Stars winger Joseph Paintsil has ended a mini goal drought by bagging his first goal in five league games as KRC Genk clinched a 3-1 away win over KAS Eupen in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.

Paintsil scored Genk’s second in the 56^th minute with his strike sandwiched by Yira Sor and Tolu Arokodare’s goals.

After scoring in Genk’s 3-0 win over KV Kortrijk on October 29, 2023, Paintsil failed to score in four straight league games.

Against Eupen over the past weekend, Paintsil gathered a through ball from the right side and slotted the ball to the left corner of the goal for Genk’s second in the game.

Paintsil reacted to his goal on X (formerly Twitter) by stating, “Felt good to be back on the scoresheet yesterday ! God did.”

The goal also marks Paintsil’s second goal contribution in a row after the Ghana winger provided an assist in Genk’s 2-2 draw with Gent.

25 year old Paintsil’s form is picking up ahead of the Black Stars campaign at the 2023 AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire with Ghana placed in Group B alongside Egypt, Mozambique and Cape Verde.
