Raymond Asante scores on debut as Patro share spoils with Jong Genk

Ghanaian youngster Raymond Asante made an immediate impact on his Patro Eisden Maasmechelen debut in the Belgian Challenger Pro League, finding the back of the net in a dramatic 4-4 draw against Jong Genk U23 over the weekend.

Asante, who recently joined the club on loan from Sporting Charleroi, was handed a starting role on Friday and wasted no time making his mark. He scored just six minutes into the match to open his account for the Belgian second-tier side, following an early opener from Leandro Rousseau in the first minute.

Despite Patro taking a quick two-goal lead in the opening six minutes, they were unable to hold onto it, with the match ending in a thrilling draw.

The result keeps Patro Eisden in fifth place after 23 games as they chase promotion, but Asante’s debut goal provides a perfect start to his new chapter. The Ghanaian forward will now look to build on this promising start as he adapts to his new club.
