Genk kicked off its league schedule on Friday and Mark McKenzie was at the forefront of a strong defensive performance from the club.

A 94th minute equalizer saw Genk tie Standard Liege 1-1 in its season opener, with McKenzie delivering an impressive performance. The U.S. men’s national team centerback completed 85% of his passes (53/62) and also made seven clearances to go along with eight successful duels out of 10 in total.

McKenzie was also strong in the air, winning four of his five aerial battles and looking comfortable all around the field. It was a strong first match of the new season for McKenzie and Genk, who next hosts Oostende on July 30th in league play. The club will kick off its quest to make the UEFA Champions League group stage on August 3rd against Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk.
