Soucek uncompromisingly hit his head, but unfortunately into his own net

West Ham remain unbeaten on the European stage this season. In Thursday’s match in Genk, it was looking for another win, but Soucek scored an own goal to secure a 2-2 draw.

The score of the match between Genk and West Ham was opened in the fifth minute by Paintsil after a pass from Ito. The next goals came after the change of sides.

Czech defender Vladimír Coufal assisted Said Benrahm for the equaliser. The Algerian midfielder then briefly even tipped the scoring to the visitors in the 82nd minute with his second goal.

The scoreboard showed the 87th minute when Genk committed to one of their last attacks on the opposition goal. On the right side of the pitch, a clash between the home team’s players led to a sharp centre into the visitors’ penalty area.

On the border of the large and small penalty area, Tomas Soucek deliberately got in the way of the flight. In an attempt to deflect the ball to safety, he headed it. Unfortunately, it was so unfortunate that it went under the crossbar of Areola’s goal.

Immediately after the goal, the Czech international collapsed on the pitch and hid his head in his hands. This is not the first time he has hit his own net. He has scored at least three times since his transfer to West Ham. That’s how it goes in football sometimes.

What is important for the fans and players of the Hammers is that they have defended the first place in Group H in the Europa League.
