The 24-year-old registered two assists to help Genk come from behind to beat rivals Club Brugge 3-1 in the Belgian top-flight league last weekend.
The former Ferencvaros player setup Carlos Cuesta’s goal in the 25th minute to get Genk even after conceding a Hans Vanaken goal in the 21st minute.
Paintsil stepped up to assist forward Paul Onuachu’s goal in the 67th minute to put Genk up 2-1 before Bryan Heynen put the game to bed with a goal in the 81st minute.
The Ghana international has made his way to the EA Sports FIFA 23 Team of the Week following his remarkable performance.
