Ryan played 90 minutes in the Round of 32 clash, making a brilliant save in the 89th minute to deny Cristian Sapunaru’s header.

However, from the resultant corner, Astra equalised with a close-range header from Takayuki Seto which Ryan could do nothing about.

Timothy Castagne had given Genk a 25th minute lead, before Ryan was beaten at his near post by Constantin Budescu’s 43rd minute strike.

Leandro Trossard restored Genk’s lead on 83 minutes, before the late leveller.

Ryan has played four games since his move on loan to Belgium from Valencia.

The second leg will be played next Friday morning (AEDT).
