Japan winger Junya Ito continued his strong scoring form in the Belgian top flight on Friday, netting both goals for Genk in a 2-2 draw against visiting Standard Liege.
The 28-year-old brought his season tally to 10 with his double at Genk's Luminus Arena, which came after he found the net in his side's previous league outing, a 2-0 win at home to Cercle Brugge.
Ito equalized in the 59th minute, seven minutes after Brazilian forward Joao Klauss had given the visitors the lead.
The Samurai Blue speedster put Genk ahead with his right foot in the 72nd minute, but substitute Jackson Muleka spoiled the party when he netted Standard Liege's second goal with nine minutes left in regulation time.
The result left Genk third in the table, a point behind second-place Royal Antwerp, who have a game in hand, while Standard Liege climbed to 11th.
