Nigerian and Genk striker Stephen Odey scored his first career Champions League goal in Genk’s 4-1 home loss to reigning champions Liverpool on Wednesday, October 23.

Odey scored a consolation for Genk who were thrashed at home by Liverpool to continue their losing streak in the Champions League.

The 21-year-old scored in the 88th minute from inside the Liverpool box just after coming on for his compatriot and teammate Paul Onuachu in the 81st minute.
