Onuachu brought his side back into contention when he drew parity with a fine effort in the 19th minute after receiving a timely pass from Daniel Munoz.
The Super Eagles attacker completed his brace in the 23rd minute when he beat goalkeeper Jean Butez to tuck home his 14th goal of the season.
His international teammate, Dessers, came on for Onuachu in the 82nd minute and sealed Genk’s victory six minutes after his introduction.
