Racing GenkHe already punched two in against Eupen and did that again to Stayen. Theo Bongonda was the match winner in the Limburg derby. And that after a week in which he found it difficult to digest the departure of Jess Thorup. “This was the best possible answer after a difficult week,” said Bongonda.

A clever combination with Ito in the Truiense sixteen completed Bongonda early in the match. Shortly after STVV’s equalizer, he trumped Schmidt with a handsome bow ball from just under 40 meters. “I have a good relationship with Junya (Ito ed.)”, Bongonda grinned. “He is my best friend on and off the field. We don’t speak the same language, but that of football is enough. With my second goal I felt that ball well with those bots. I didn’t even look where the keeper was. That’s called talent, right? (smiles) Without asking questions, I kicked. If you don’t try, you can’t score. ”

Bongonda reacted quite laconically to Thorup’s departure over the past week. His four middle fingers on social media to the address of the Danish coach were not to be misunderstood. “I was very motivated to show something. The departure of the coach was not the problem because I wish him the best of luck. Only the way was not neat. We just came out of a difficult period. If he had had the balls to step into the locker room one more time and say he had a nice offer and left, no one would have made a difference. This says a lot about him as a person, but well we are pros and things like that happen in football. I was disappointed because I would have liked him as a trainer, but I think we answered in the best possible way with this win. ”

De Ridder lashes out at ref Lambrechts
There was not only the swipe by Bongonda, but after the match Steve De Ridder also showed himself critical. Not about Thorup or Genk, but about the competition management. “Swallow and carry on, sure ?! Everyone makes mistakes, but the way a haughty Lambrechts led this derby, but the connection between players and referees is only getting smaller. ”
